Palace Theater Channels Vintage Vegas with Sandy Hackett’s Rat Pack Show

WATERBURY - They were style with substance, swing with swagger and a non-stop party that everyone wanted to attend. Now, audiences can relive the magic of Frank, Sammy, Dino, and Joey when Sandy Hackett’s Rat Pack Show brings vintage Vegas to the Palace Theater in Waterbury for one night only on Friday, February 8, at 8p.m.

Hailed as the next best thing to seeing The Rat Pack live, Sandy Hackett’s Rat Pack Show celebrates 50 years of Vegas’ “Kings of Cool” in a critically acclaimed, one-of-a-kind theatrical production featuring new arrangements of classic songs; never-before-heard songs written by the late, legendary songwriter Ron Miller (“For Once In My Life”); and authentic recorded voiceovers made exclusively for the show by Sandy Hackett’s father, the late, legendary comedian Buddy Hackett.

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 with over 70 performance dates across the country, all the while maintaining its home base at the LVH Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas.
