The Rat Pack is coming to Santa Rosa.

Well, sort of.

On Saturday, February 2 at 8 p.m., Sandy Hackett’s Rat Pack Show, a tribute to the true Rat Pack, will be coming to the Wells Fargo Center for the Arts. And their performance captures the humor, talent, and soul of the group that became a household name in the 1960s.

Hackett, the writer, producer, and actor of the show, is the son of the legendary comedian Buddy Hackett, and portrays family friend, Joey Bishop. He’s joined by a cast that offers spot-on representation of the other members of the original Rat Pack – Frank Sinatra, Sammy Davis Jr., and Dean Martin, among other portrayals that add to the critically acclaimed show. Hackett even gets help from his wife and co-producer Lisa Dawn Miller, daughter of famed Motown songwriter Ron Miller.

“Our ties to these iconic legends through our fathers allows us to tell this story in a way that no other producers or performers can,” MIller says. “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.”

Wells Fargo Center for the Arts is located at 50 Mark West Springs Rd., Santa Rosa. Tickets are $35 & $50 at the box office. To purchase tickets, visit wellsfargocenterarts.org. For more information on the show, visit sandyhackettsratpackshow.com.
