There is a large and vibrant community that counts on The Tarrytown Music Hall for many reasons, including the millions of dollars generated in visitor-related spending. Pre-show dining and shopping fills restaurants and retail in and around Main Street.  Our closure of now 40 weeks affects our entire community, which is why we are announcing a special “Angel” sponsorship program for everyone: businesses, individuals, and families.  Angels will sponsor Night-In With The Music Hall, a curated, livestream concert series, at a donation level of $500. We are looking for 52 Angels, one for every week of 2021, Angels as dedicated as we are to keeping the arts alive.

To quote a heartfelt message from one of our recently featured artists: “As this unfathomable year comes to a close, and we head into the unknown of tomorrow, artists and artist-friendly venues must stick together. At a time when the arts are needed more than ever, we need not go it alone.  If music has ever provided comfort for your broken heart, or helped to ease your restless spirit…” become a Music Hall Angel Today!

The post Holiday Wednesday, Dec.16th to support Music Hall in Tarrytown appeared first on Good News!.

“Sandy Hackett’s Rat Pack Show,” which has stacked up rave reviews over the years, is a theatrical, musical production which recreates what it would have been like to see legendary icons, Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, Sammy Davis Jr. and Joey Bishop live onstage together.

“God sends the Rat Pack back to do one last show. They arrive in their prime but they are sent back to modern day so we get to weave current events into show,” said Miller who plays “Frank’s One Love,” a character based on Sinatra’s relationship with Ava Gardner. “Sandy’s father, Buddy Hackett, plays God. Frank, Sammy, Joey and Dean were all his friends and Sandy grew up with them. There is a lot of room for improv in the show, as it was with the real Rat Pack. Sandy is brilliant as Joey Bishop and is the comedy genius that has made our show so successful.”

Lisa has her own connection to the Rat Pack. Her father was songwriting legend, Ron Miller. “Every singing member of the Rat Pack recorded and performed my father’s classic standard, ‘For Once in My Life,’” Miller said. Hackett continued, “My wife brings her musical genius to the show, both as a creator and performer, which really sets our show apart from anything else out there,” Hackett said.

Sandy, who is working on a book about his father, “My Buddy,” to be released late this year, tours nationwide as a comedian and with his one-man show of the same name (directed by Miller), a live theatrical production about his close relationship with his dad and the ten years they spent touring together. www.mybuddyhackett.com

Lisa, a producer and singer/songwriter, is developing a new musical, “For Once in My Life,” about the life of her father whose hits, in addition to “For Once in My Life,” include “Touch Me in the Morning,” “A Place in the Sun,” “Heaven Help Us All,” “Yester-Me, Yester-You, Yesterday,” “If I Could,” “I’ve Never Been to Me,” “Someday at Christmas,” “Everyone’s a Kid at Christmas Time” and many more. She has released several recordings and directed numerous music videos. She also heads up her own music publishing company, LDM Publishing; manages her father’s vast legacy catalogue; tours throughout the country and manages the careers of her children, 18-year-old actor/singer, Oliver Richman, freshman at New York University Tisch School of the Arts and 13-year-old actor/singer/dancer, Ashleigh Hackett, a middle schooler, also a student of the performing arts.
