Sandy Hackett’s Rat Pack Show to Kick off National Tour in San Francisco

The national tour of Sandy Hackett’s Rat Pack Show will kick off its national tour at San Francisco’s Marines’ Memorial Theatre, April 15-May 23, with an opening set for April 17. Billy Karl will direct.

The show, which comes direct from Las Vegas, celebrates the 50th anniversary of the Rat Pack as it takes audiences on a journey back to the days of highballs, hi-jinks and happy hour with Frank Sinatra, Sammy Davis, Jr., Joey Bishop, and Dean Martin. The show is produced by Sandy Hackett – son of the late, great comedian and actor Buddy Hackett – and Lisa Dawn Miller – daughter of legendary songwriter Ron Miller. It features the classic songs such as “For Once in My Life,” “My Way,” “Mack the Knife,” plus original, never-before-heard songs written by the late Miller.

The touring production stars Sandy Hackett as Joey Bishop, David DeCosta as Frank Sinatra, Doug Starks as Sammy Davis, Jr., Tony Basile as Dean Martin, and Lisa Dawn Miller as Frank’s One Love. Buddy Hackett himself is the voice of God, thanks to a voiceover recorded before his passing in 2003. Music Maestro Christopher Hardin leads the orchestra, conducted by Joseph Spraker.

The show will continue to have a sit-down run at Las Vegas’ Sahara Hotel & Casino, while additional tour stops will be announced at a later date.
