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.
