FSCJ Artist Series to Present Sandy Hackett's Rat Pack Christmas

By:
The Rat Pack is coming to Jacksonville's Times-Union Center on December 2, 2016 for one performance only. It's a Christmas experience you won't want to miss!

There is only one real Rat Pack experience! It's not until you indulge in Hackett Miller's critically acclaimed production of Sandy Hackett's Rat Pack Show that you begin to realize why Sandy Hackett's own personal connection to these iconic legends has allowed him to tell this story unlike any other producer or performer. Sandy's father, legendary comedian, Buddy Hackett was the best of friends with Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, Sammy Davis, Jr. and Joey Bishop - and together, they all made history.

Chosen personally by "Uncle Joey" (Bishop), only Sandy Hackett can bring to life that magical moment in time that everyone wanted (and continues to want) access to. Sandy, with his producing partner, Lisa Dawn Miller, who has her own personal connection to the Rat Pack - her father, legendary songwriter Ron Miller wrote "For Once In My Life" (recorded by every member of the Rat Pack), have created a truly authentic, avant garde theatrical production based on the musical and comedic legacy of the Rat Pack, capturing the relationship, respect, love and timeless laughter of that once-in-a-lifetime moment in history.

Hackett Miller, armed with their passion and the most extraordinary musical and creative team plus the comedic genius synonymous with the name Hackett, Sandy Hackett's Rat Pack Show is the most successful live theatrical production of its kind, touring throughout the U.S. in hundreds of performing arts theatres to great critical acclaim. Priding itself on its uniqueness and originality, this show makes you laugh, cry and leaves you wanting for more!

Now audiences can experience this critically acclaimed, hugely entertaining theatrical production which includes exciting new arrangements of classic songs and original, never-before-heard songs written by the late, best-selling songwriter, Ron Miller, along with recorded voiceovers made exclusively for this show by the late, comedic genius, Buddy Hackett.
