SANDY HACKETT'S RAT PACK SHOW Comes to Worcester, 2/9

The only show with producers and cast members who have real ties to the real Rat Pack, SANDY HACKETT'S RAT PACK SHOW has entertained millions of people worldwide. As one of the most successful shows of its kinds with over 70 performances last year, the talented ensemble (in association with Orin Wolf/OBB NYC - Off Broadway Booking) will perform on stage at The Hanover Theatre for the Performing Arts on Saturday, February 9 at 8pm. This performance is generously sponsored by Commerce Bank.

In addition to enjoying a successful 2011-2012 tour, SANDY HACKETT'S RAT PACK SHOW has been a mainstay in its original home of Las Vegas, continuing its thriving run at the LVH - Las Vegas Hotel and Casino (formerly the Las Vegas Hilton).

"Our show is very different than any of those 'tribute-type' shows out there crowding the market. We are not a "tribute" show. In fact, we are not even in the same category. Rather, we are a theatrical production that includes original songs. I think we are unique for multiple reasons, starting with our own personal connections to the real Rat Pack," said Lisa Miller of the Hackett Miller Company Inc.

"Our ties to these iconic legends through our fathers allow us to tell this story in a way that no other producers or performers can. Sandy is the only entertainer to have ever been chosen by a member of the real Rat Pack to represent their part for a live production or film project about the Rat Pack. Longtime Hackett family friend, Joey Bishop, personally handpicked Sandy to play his role" Miller continues. "Sandy brilliantly brings to life that nonstop party that everyone wanted access to by making his unsurpassed Hackett comedy, wit and humor the foundation of our show. It's also meaningful to me that each member of the real Rat Pack recorded my father's songs individually so there is a great musical connection for us as well."
