Sandy Hackett's Rat Pack

Loved the show. Took my mom and we both very much enjoyed it

I had seen this show in Vegas 10 years ago. It's only gotten better!

The show was terrific! The guys all work well with each other and their timing is really good. The singing was very good and makes you feel like you're really listening to the original Rat Pack. The role of Joey Bishop was played very well!

This lively show was amazing! The performers were wonderful in bringing back the talent and personalities of some of our iconic performers. They had the audience tapping and singing along ... it was hard to sit still. Sandy Hackett did steal the show, though. That is one very funny man! We laughed all the way home thinking of his jokes and antics.

This show was amazing! The characters captured the the audience with their portrayal of Frank, Sammy, Dean and Joey. Loved it.

I, my 29-year old daughter and 18-year old granddaughter truly enjoyed the whole show. I was expecting just music but humor and 'skits' were also a part .A good part of the humor was rather adult so if you thought of taking younger children, I wouldn't recommend it. Myself...I'd be uncomfortable with anyone younger than 18 but it was very funny. There was a lot of play on Atlanta and our traffic problems which brought a lot of knowing laughter. I enjoyed how they drew the audience close to the stage into their skits. I loved the songs from 'Frank', 'Dean' and 'Sammy'. There was one female singer who was not quite my type but she was well received by the audience. The live band was a fantastic backup. Given the chance I'd love to go see them again!

My girlfriend and I attended the 8:00pm show on March 16, 2013. This was our first visit to the Cobb Energy Performing Arts Center, and we were both impressed with the friendly and helpful staff. Great seating and the individual HVAC vent under each comfortable and clean chair was a very nice touch. The show was very refreshing and a great way to give tribute to the true greats of the past. Very good way to enjoy two hours with the girlfriend. Highly recommend and would like to see again in the future.

My wife & I enjoyed the entire show. This type of entertainment is long gone and would like to see more . The show brought back so many memories of the great music & had lots of laughs. Thank you Sandy Hacket for the memories. Loved your Dad .

The music was outstanding...excellent choice of songs

A great date night and a view into some very truly memorable moments with some of the songs. Entertain and comedy was truly a class act, no vulga language, a clean class act. Was great to see you come out and meet the audience, additional class act. Will most definitely buy tickets again to see the show and even sit on I75 to get there :)

I was prepared to love this show. I envisioned it as a Sinatra-fied version of Jersey Boys, with lots of fabulous music woven together with a bit of a story. Instead, it is a showcase for Sandy Hackett and family. Playing Joey Bishop, Hackett's comedic bits were quite funny, but not very Joey-Bishop-like unless Joey Bishop was a Borscht belt comedian. The onstage band was great to hear. All the singing was good, sometimes even great - but there's not enough of it. More Dean, Frank and Sammy! And less of the One True Love. This woman's part did not fit in the show (hey, if she's not Shirley MacLaine or Ava Gardner, she doesn't belong) and her song "Wasn't I a Good Time" (which I liked) was way too long. She has a nice voice. But that was not enough to overcome her weak stage presence and lame attempted choreography, plus a very poor choice of unflattering and anachronistic costume and hairstyle. Sigh. I will wait for a better Rat Pack tribute.

Too much talking and not enough singing. The band and the singing were wonderful, however, there wasn't enough of it. Ridiculous corny and dirty jokes. They even changed the words of the famous song, "New York, New York" by replacing the original lyrics with some cheap dirty rendition. Not at all tasteful! Sinatra and Martin alone wrote enough songs to fill the two hour show and that's what I was hoping for. Disappointed :(

I have been in the entertainment business 30 + years and am not sure i have ever experienced a Show / Production that was Undermined by The Lighting.. At certain points the Act would look about as to say WHY are all the lights on while i am singing a Ballad? i paid $100.00 for two tickets and could not stay past the intermission.. I was and AM so EMBARRASSED for who ever was responsible for the Lighting portion of the show.. the Main Vocals were a bit Dodgy to start.. a little feed-back but the Audio engineer did sort that out rather quickly.. Good Job as for the quality of the artists .. Sandy gets 5 Stars for his part.. i am still laughing.... and great job to the rest of the artists too.. i hope that who ever Produced this show understands the severity of the problem.. you Dont want your audience being distracted by the Horn Players messing with there music or the bass player re tuning... you really want there Focus to be on the Artist.. its this easy.Spot's 1 & 3 waste shot on artist center stage.go.Stage lights fade to black!

Took my 86 y/o mother to the show. We both loved it. The band was great as well as the performers. She had seen the real Rat Pack in Vegas back in the 60's and really enjoyed re-living the moment. Sammy Davis Jr. needs to polish his shoes though. My mother said Sammy would never come on stage without a shoe shine first! LOL

This show as amazing. Loved it from beginning to end. Great songs from each of them. Joey Bishops jokes were right on. Great entertainment for the whole family.

Sandy Hackett's Rat Pack Show was terrific. The performers were uncanny in their renditions of the old standards by Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, Sammy David, Jr. and Joey Bishop. Their comedy routines between songs were really funny also (for mature audiences). The Cobb Energy Performing Arts Center was a great venue for the show and we had a ball!

This was a surprise for my husband. He loves that era and the music of the time. He was blown away. He absolutely felt like he was watching the original Rat Pack. Since it was a surprise my husband said that I raised the bar real high and he did not know how he was ever going to repay this one to me!! When the show returns to Atlanta we will definitely see it again!

Enjoyed the comedy, the music, and the crowd interaction of the performers. The Rat Pack was entertaining and was having so much fun that the time went by way to fast.

Sandy Hacket playing Joey Bishop was the best part of the show. His interaction with the audience was clever and entertaining. As for the singing, let's say I miss Dino and Frank ...and Sammy. Their tunes are still running through my head, but the night of signing wasn't quite what I expected. And, why, oh why, did Lisa Dawn Miller have to write herself in for an 8 minute song? I'll never get that time back. Danny (as Frank) was doing OK, until all the emotion was zapped from him after the duet with Lisa.

Thoroughly enjoyed the Rat Pack! The music was superb and the banter that so seamlessly integrated local and current events made for a very 'personal' evening. Only disappointment was the 'tease' of Mr. BoJangles....would love to see that fleshed out in it's entirety (to include 'Sammy' tapping!). Definitely worth seeing!

very good show, music was wonderful. needed more music and less clowning.

This show has a lot of energy, funny jokes and nostalgic songs. All of the guys in the show were great, but the woman who sang in the second act really slowed down the momentum of the show. When did The Rat Pack include a woman in their show? My friends and I enjoyed the show very much but that particular number was way too long...and that slit in her skirt was way too high cut.

Loved the entire show.Extremely talented cast.Wish Dino could have song his signature song."Everbody Loves Somebody Sometime".

Entertaining... Much older crowd in attendance. Seats: there is not a bad seat at Cobb (love this venue).

For those of us a "certain age" this show was a reconstitution of fond memories. Frank, Dean, Sammy, and Joey being brought back was very entertaining. The old jokes, and some new, were funny. The characters mannerisms and moves were very familiar and extremely well done. Recognized the musical numbers and particularly like the live band. The show was very well done and enjoyable. We had a good time.

microphone was 'splattering' a lot esp on the sammy davis jr guy. either he was too close or the mike was on too loud. or something. everytime he said a D or P or other hard consonants, the sound was too much. annoying.

I had heard good things about the Rat Pack, but we must have gone on a bad night, or had the wrong cast - we were very disappointed! The cast (with the exception of Joey Bishop) were "cruise-ship" quality. You could picture them moving on to playing something else the following night.

Plain SILLY. Drop all the jokes and perform more songs

Have seen better at North Springs High School. Was not impressed by the show.

There was too much joking around and not enough songs, I get that is what went on in the 60s but these guys could not pull that off

Being too young to ever see the original Rat Pack perform I was thinking the only way I could enjoy them was through video. Sandy Hacketts Rat pack Show was the closest I could ever get to a live performance. All the actors where at the top of their game and brought life to the great entertainers they where portraying. hope to see this show again sometime.

One of the Best shows of it's kind. If you closed your eyes, you almost felt like they were the real deal. Very entertaining!

Bought the tickets for my parents and they loved the entire show! They said it was fantastic from start to finish! The impersonations were spot on and the music was terrific. They also said they hadn't laughted that hard in ages. They even met and took pictures with the cast after the show! They loved the seats and the venue at the Salamanca Casino. I was pleased that ticketmaster made it very easy for me to choose and buy the seats online.

Excellent show with super music, great jokes, and nice Christmas music. The entertainers sounded like the real thing , especially frank Sinatra.

Overall a great show. The weakest point was the person impersonating Dean Martin who was not very good. It was obvious he was trying to sound like Martin, but he was inconsistent and didn't sound very close to him. However, the singers doing Sinatra and Sammy Davis Jr were spot on and made up for the weak Dean Martin singer.

Rat pack was able to capture the early 60 s of Sinatra and Martin with the humor of Bishop. Great orchestra accompanied them.

Saw Sandy Hackett's Rat Pack this past weekend and enjoyed it thoroughly. The music was fantastic, the singing was excellent and the comedy hilarious. It was obvious that these reenactors really enjoy each other and can handle unrehearsed one liners. They work great with the audience and it was just plain fun. I would go and see them again I liked it that much

The show was totaling amazing from start to finish. If you closed your eyes you would swear they were the original guys. Everyone was Great ! Joey Bishop truly made the show with his quick wit & humor. I would highly recommend the show & definitely go see it again. Thanks for the trip bad in time to a Great Era !!!

Awesome show. unforgettable. MUST SEE!!!! Joey Bishop comedy supurb!!

Sorry to say I was disappointed by the show. The Sinatra impersonator was very good, and "Joey Bishop" was funny. However, "Sammy Davis" was so-so, and "Dean Martin" was not at all good; they lapsed into caricatures of their characters, but went in and out, so it was pretty jarring. And Sandy Hackett's grand-daughter was very cute, but her routine got old very quickly and didn't add anything positive to the show. I would have rather seen comic impersonators like Billy Crystal and Joe Piscopo do their things, clearly as impersonators, than these guys.

Overall the show was very entertaining.....the Performers' that portrayed: Dean, Sammy and of Course Joey Bishop...were incredible.... "Unfortunately"...."Frank"...not so good.....he was disappointing,,...not as polished as the other Entertainers....

Expected this to be replica of that night at the Sands when all that spontaneous madness took place - but that was not this show. However, thanks to the humor of Buddy Hackett's son, Sandy, this was a funny and fun evening. The fellows who prtrayed Sionatra and Dean martin actually sounded somewhat like them, but the Sammy Davis performer did not. Music was pretty good - and performers were all good., but it was Sandy Hackett;s comedy that made this night outstanding. This was a light and funny night.

We had a really fun evening. They truely brought back memories of thr Rat Pack. Sandy Hackett (Buddiy Hacketts) son was extremely funny as Joey Bishop. The person who was Sammy Davis Junior had a great voice and really portrayed him perfectly as di the entertainers who portrayed Dean Martin and Frank Sinatra. It was fun.

This was a fun evening of entertainment, with songs and jokes that we all enjoyed. Our teenage boys didn't know what to expect but they both really enjoyed it.

What a great show. Felt like I was in Vegas in the 1960's.

the show iteself was wonderful. the singers who were representing Sammy Davis Jr and Frank Sinatra were excellent. and the female singer who sang with Frank had an awesome voice. Brought back many memories of my grandma who adored Dean Martin. spent many days with her listening to and singing along to his records my only complaint is the seating. we were packed in like sardines in folding chair all sitting on floor level. if anyone taller than you was in front of you, you had to bob and weave to see the show. at $60 per ticket, i thought the seats could have been better.

Best show I have seen in a long time. Their singing was good and did sound somewhat close to the real performers. What really made the show was they captured the "spirit" of the Rat Pack and their mannerisms. The comedy was excellent! I laughed out loud at almost everything. I was pleasantly surprised to hear the jokes were off color and not politically correct but also done tastefully and packed a lot of punch! They also did some research on the area before the show as they included some local color into their comedy routine and improv with the audience.

WOULD DEFINITLY GO AGAIN ! GREAT SHOW ! EVERYONE WAS GREAT CANT WAIT TO TAKE OTHER PEOPLE I KN OW TO THE SHOW WHEN IT COMES BACK

My wife and I really didn't enjoy tis show. I can't say much more other than it reminded me of a high school play. A bad one.

One of the best shows I have seen. Very enjoyable. Recently saw Lion King and this was as good if not better

Very entertaining! Comedy was Hilarius! Music Fantastic! Awesome Show!

Show was good. It lacked some spark because this version didn't have a Marilyn Monroe character in the troupe. The sound could have been much better.

The show was actually better than we anticipated. The impersonators were very good, with Sammy Davis Jr. (Louie Velez) being totally outstanding! The jokes by Joey Bishop (Sandy Hackett) were hysterical and a nice compliment to the music.

This is the third time that I have seen the Rat Pack over the course of about 7 years. Twice in Vegas and once in Ft. Lauderdale. The program is always different. The first time was terrific and it has gone downhill from there. With respect to the Ft. Lauderdale version the venue was great, the subject matter was great. The performances fell short in my estimation. However, Sandy Hackett was just teriffic and pretty much saved the show for me. He has a great sense of timing and delivery of jokes and is great as a standup. The other performers where not that great. First of all, the songs that I would attribute to Frank, Sammy and Dean were not sung. They were songs that they did sing but not ones that I would say they "owned". Secondly, the impersonations were not on the mark. Would I see it again..probably not.

A must see for all Rat Pack Fans. Each performer was fantastic!

Awesome show, it was hilarious and entertaining. My husband and I both enjoyed the show. Definetly will see it next year

VERY disappointed! Voices off key and show was too long. Joey Bishop was the best - funny jokes.

Really enjoyed the show. Sandy Hackett did a great job as Joey Bishop. Loved the jokes and the music. Great time,

The overall show was entertaining, but the Sinatra and Dean Martin portrayers lacked the vocal qualities of the portrayed. The Sammy Davis portrayer was more believable.

Love the show! Music was great. Singing was great! Acting was VERY good. Sandy Hackett stole the show. It was a very good time and I loved seeing a show that wasn't full of profanity and was still very funny.

Great Show - Sandy Hackett was hysterical as Joey Bishop! Dean and Sammy did a respectable job so that by the end of the show you were thinking of them as Dean and Sammy. Frank sounded wonderful, however if he want's to attempt to look like Frank Sinatra, he should get a haircut!.

This is more of a comedy then a musical review.The gentilman who did Sammy Davis was very good but the rest of the Rar Pack were not what I expected

Very entertaining, the cast was good, the songs were good, the jokes (especially the ad lipped ones) were extremely funny

Music was great. Lisa Dawn Miller had only one song in the show and that is a shame... if there is a better voice out there I have not heard it. Alas, the show is about the Rat Pack and they were great. Sandy Hackett as Joey Bishop is beyond funny. He can improvise and roll with the setting and he plays the crowd. If you like to laugh... if you like Sinatra, Martin and Sammy... this is for you.

It wasa great show. However, the event was not adverticed sufficiently so very few people came to the show. Therefore it tock place in a smaller room. Rather unprofessional. But again, the show was really great.

The show was awesome! Funny and very entertaining. The musical score was great as well.

Did not sing complete songs. Did not know lyrics to many of the songs. Plain awkward. Joey Bishop character was the best.

The band was excellent. The Joey Bishop and Sammy Davis actors had life. My favorite was Joey B. Many of the guys missed the words to the songs. Sandy Hackett acted a little too familiar with the men. I was really hoping to hear some great old songs. They did not even know the lyrics to Christmas songs. One song specifically was to say Christ and they would not say it. YES it was offensive. It was an awkward show at best. The man who played Dean Martin tried Wayyyyy to hard.

Wish the show had more music. The band was great, too bad it was wasted. I do not recommend.

Great show. Good clean fun. Music and singing were outstanding and comedy refreshingly adult without being vulgar. One of the best shows we have seen whether in Vegas or anywhere.

Wow, we had a great time! The music and jokes were great! I would recommend their show Highly!

I have seen a few Rat Pack shows, and this was good but not as good as a troupe I saw at Proctor's a few years ago. Joey Bishops character was good, funny but almost more prominent than the other players (?). Singers were good, but the voices didn't quite hit their mark, I wasn't able to say "Wow, that guy really sounds just like Dino/Frank/Sammy", etc. They did engage the audience well, had some fun jokes, included some good material about Albany and were entertaining. All in all, a good night out!

Overall the show was very entertaining and we enjoyed it. However, as a major Sinatra and Rat Pack fan, there were several issues with the performance. There were 3-4 tunes performed that neither Frank nor the Pack ever performed, including one torturous duet with an unknown female singer that was not a character in the show or a Marilyn or other impersonator. Original songs are fine for other shows. But when recreating a legendary act like this, I would prefer they stick to the real songs and try to impersonate the stars as much as possible. Another mistake was Frank s medley a couple lines each from a half dozen great charts. It would have been much better to hear 1 or 2 full songs all the way through, not a horrible medley. Joey s character and jokes, along with the dialogue between the characters, was very good and had been updated for the times and the local concert arena as well. Excellent rating on that. The singing and talent level across the board was very good as well. The band was excellent. But I probably won t see them again. Having seen The Rat Pack is Back in Vegas and other impersonators, my biggest complaint as explained is NEVER do original music. We are there to hear Frank and the boys relive the 60 s, not some new garbage music we have never heard before. Stick to the real songs or do another act.

From start to finish Sandy Hackett's Rat Pack can only be described as amazing entertainment. If you were familiar with the original Cast, you will have no problem believing that they had returned for one more show. Spot on performances by all. Buddy Hackett must be very proud of his son. A brilliant comedian. The gentleman who plays Sammy Davis Jr does him so well it's eerie and when they start singing, you would think Dean and Frank were actually on stage. At the risk of sounding cliche' this show is a must see

What a pleasure to have laughed out loud so much. Loved the music. Thank you.

Great piece of history. Songs by all singers brought back memories. Comedy by all, especially Joey BIshop made the show. Good mix of jokes from the 60s and today!

Great mix and feel, on par with, if not better than the Vegas show!

This show was excellent!! I have seen several Rat Pack shows and always enjoy them. The others I have seen did not have a Joey Bishop. He was a fantastic addition to what I have seen in the past. Loved everything about the show!!,

As one who is just barely old enough to remember the original Rat Pack from it's heyday, I can say that this show is a terrific recreation of their schtick, if not their chemistry. The actors are all very talented, though not all of their impressions are spot on. The best are Sandy Hackett as Joey Bishop and David DeCosta as Frank Sinatra. Both captured the voices and the mannerisms of their characters perfectly. Dezmond Meeks is a terrific singer and dancer, but I didn't really think he captured Sammy Davis's persona in either respect. And Tony Basile sounded more like Johnny Carson than Dean Martin to me. The solo songs are all wonderful, but when the ensemble tries to harmonize it just doesn't quite work. And some of the humor, like Joey Bishop's Japanese character, is a bit uncomfortable in our age of political correctness. The biggest disappointment was the lack of chemistry between the actors, who just couldn't convincingly portray the real camaraderie of the originals. Still, overall, the show is a great tribute to the stars and a treat for those of us who still remember the days when songs were sung, not screamed over an ear-shattering electronic cacophony of electronic noise.

Overall the musical was great. Sinatra was the best, others could've been better. Still made for a great night!

The person playing Sammy Davis needs to learn to dance. Sammy did tap as well as other dancing. Sandy Hackett was HYSTERICAL!!!!! It's NOT for children. Very much like the "old" club acts used to be. Sometimes a bit raunchy. The musicians were good, but the sound system needed work.

Very fun night out. The cast and band members were all extremely talented. Jokes interspersed were just raunchy enough to be funny without being offensive. We wish that the mike would have amplified the piano a bit more - it was often lost in the noise. The only downer of the evening had to do with a few inebriated women sitting in the balcony... they kept shouting out requests, interrupting the flow on stage. Wish the Rialto staff would have politely escorted those women out... very disruptive.

Joey Bishop stole the show with his comedy, funny but not R rated! If you enjoyed the music of the original Rat Pack, you will definitely enjoy this show. Dean could have been better.

It was nearly perfect. In our opinion it would have achieved perfection had there been less chatter/banter and more singing. "Sammy" and "Frank" were exceptionally good, "Dean" was OK and "Joey" was great in his time slot. The problem was carrying it, the 'comedy' over excessively into the rest of the show. Also, the audio quality left something to be desired. "Dean" was very hard to understand. It seemed that the hand-held mics might have been the cause of the distortion. We missed hearing Dean's "Everybody's Got Somebody" and Sammy's "Candy Man" & "Bo Jangles".

This show was lots of fun to watch. Each of the performers played their part well. The biggest surprise for me, knowing nothing of the actors ahead of time, was David DeCosta playing Frank Sinatra. As a fan of Sinatra and the genre in general, his montages were the highlights of the show for me. Sandy Hackett kept the laughs coming, rounding the whole show and making for an incredibly enjoyable afternoon.

An enjoyable evening. Do yourself a favor, get dressed up, have a cocktail and immerse yourself in the show. Just like the real RatPack, the show doesnt take it self too serious, but still delivers. If there is anything negative to say it would be I was left wanting more. Perhaps more Frank, a little bit of Ella Fitzgerald sprinkled in and a longer show after intermission. Hope they add more.

The show was great! They sounded just like the Rat Pack and Sandy Hackett was hilarious.

Loved the show, Sandy Hackett was awesome and so good at improv. The music was beautiful.The audio on the duet was too loud, and it kind of made the lyrics hard to understand, and the young man who played Sammy Davis needs to learn a few more dance steps, cause he kept repeating the same one and that got old. Keep going though cause you have a good thing here.

We thoroughly enjoyed the entire show, all the participants seemed to be having as much fun as the audience.

Best non Vegas show ever all must go see this as all performers were super

Makes you so nostalgic for the gang. Went to Maggiano's before the show which was perfect for getting in the swing of things. Great way to spend an Italian St Patrick's Day!

Great show full of energy. Great Music and lots of laughs from these amazing artist

There wa a lot of comedy but most songs ere interrupted instead of integrated
