The Rat Pack to Kick Off SPA's 2015-16 Season, Today

By:

Society for the Performing Arts will celebrate its 2015-2016 opening night with THE RAT PACK IS BACK! Friday, Sept. 18, at 8 p.m., in Jones Hall.

Witness the beginnings of stardom as four unlikely entertainers bring their talents together to create one of the most influential shows in Las Vegas history. THE RAT PACK IS BACK! pays tribute to the talented stars of the 1960s: Frank Sinatra, Sammy Davis Jr., Joey Bishop and Dean Martin. Audience members will travel back through time to an era when shows on the Strip featured only live music and entertainers who really knew how to work the crowd. Known as "The Rat Pack," this swingin', ring-a-ding group made history through their style, humor and special role in postwar America.

THE RAT PACK IS BACK! unites four of the country's most accomplished singer/actors: Tom Walleck (Appearing as Joey Bishop); Drew Anthony (Appearing as Dean Martin); Kenny Jones (Appearing as Sammy Davis Jr.) and Brian Duprey (Appearing as Frank Sinatra).

Produced by Dick Feeney, THE RAT PACK IS BACK! features uncanny vocal recreations, unbridled humor and a hot, live 12-piece orchestra. Hits include "That's Amore," "My Way," "Mr. Bojangles" and many more. Enjoy this award-winning performance of comedy and music, all while feeling as if you were whisked away to the coolest time in history.

Tickets for THE RAT PACK IS BACK! range from $33-$78 and can be purchased online at www.spahouston.org, by phone at 713-227-4SPA or at the courtyard level ticket office at Jones Hall located at 615 Louisiana St. Hours of operation: 9 a.m.-5 p.m. Monday-Friday. For groups of 15 or more call 713-632-8113. Prices are subject to change.

Shaken & Stirred, Opening Night Party Package!
