Critically-Acclaimed 'Sandy Hackett's Rat Pack Show' Unveils New Website and Show Dates

The crowd-pleasing musical, "Sandy Hackett's Rat Pack Show," now in its tenth season, announced the launch of a new website at www.SandysRatPack.com and additional tour dates for 2019. The theatrical production stars Sandy Hackett, son of the illustrious comedian Buddy Hackett, and his wife, Lisa Dawn Miller, daughter of legendary songwriter, Ron Miller. The two produce the show under their jointly-led production company, Hackett Miller.

"I'm so excited to release our new website. We've been working on it for quite a while now, both in its artistic design and state-of-the-art technology," Miller said. "I think our fans and our presenters will love it. There is a lot of multimedia content for fans, a downloadable media catalogue for arts presenters, never-before-seen photos and behind-the-scenes footage of the show. We are also getting ready to release our first ever EP which is a collection of cast and fan favorites. It's all very exciting!"

Hackett Miller also announced new tour dates which can be found at the new website, including a return engagement at Theatre by the Sea in South Kingstown, Rhode Island (July 29) and at the Barnstable Performing Arts Center Hyannis, Massachusetts on Cape Cod (July 27).

"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.
