LOS ANGELES–(BUSINESS WIRE)– The only show of its kind on the Vegas Strip, “Sandy Hackett’s Rat Pack Show” will be spotlighted on the popular segment “The Vegas Minute,” airing on KTLA in Los Angeles, KSWB in San Diego and KFVE in Honolulu on Thursday, December 17. Check local listings for airtime.
The dedicated segment highlights Sandy Hackett, his wife, producer/singer/songwriter Lisa Dawn Miller, along with the Rat Pack gang shooting footage in the historic Buddy Hackett Suite at the Sahara–– the same suite where his late father and legendary comedian Buddy Hackett held accommodations during his heyday in the 60s and 70s.
“Sandy Hackett’s Rat Pack Show” made its official debut on November 19– just in time for the holidays– at the Sahara Hotel & Casino’s Congo Room in Las Vegas, offering a fresh and exciting take on the comedic and musical legacy of the Rat Pack.
As part of the show, the character of Frank Sinatra (played by David DeCosta) sings “For Once In My Life,” written by the late legendary songwriter Ron Miller, also Lisa Dawn Miller’s father. As a special holiday treat, adoring audiences are even more blown away in the exclusive run of holiday shows when Lisa herself makes a guest appearance to perform another of her father’s gems, “One Little Christmas Tree.”
Also to celebrate the holidays, Lisa and the Rat Pack cast performed to a packed house at The Big Broadcast of 2009 in the Las Vegas Hilton showroom on December 12 to honor U.S. troops.
The stellar cast includes Sandy Hackett (Joey Bishop), David DeCosta (Frank Sinatra), Doug Starks (Sammy Davis, Jr.) and newcomer Tony Basile (Dean Martin). Buddy Hackett himself is the voice of God, thanks to a voiceover recorded before he passed.
