Sandy Hackett's Rat Pack
Celebrating 50 years of The Rat Pack, Sandy Hackett’s Rat Pack Show has been hailed as the next best thing to seeing the Rat Pack themselves.
“The interpretations by the actors capture the stage essences of the Rat Pack members Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, Sammy Davis Jr., and Joey Bishop in a way that is eerily supernatural.” -SAN FRANCISCO EXAMINER
They were style with substance, swing with swagger and a non-stop party that everyone wanted access to. Now audiences can experience this critically acclaimed, hugely entertaining theatrical production which includes exciting new arrangements of the classic songs everyone knows and loves. In addition, audiences will hear original, never-before-heard songs written by the late, legendary songwriter, Ron Miller (“For Once In My Life”), and recorded voiceovers made exclusively for this show by Sandy Hackett’s father, the late, legendary comedian, Buddy Hackett.

Celtic Woman
First introduced to the U.S. public through multiple highly watched PBS airings of their spectacular hour show; Celtic Woman followed that up with a live performance of their music on NBC’s Today Show on St. Patrick’s day. Since that point, they seemed to have developed of somewhat of an inexplicable phenomenon. Their albums continually rise to the top of Billboard Magazine’s World Music Album Chart and their PBS specials continue to be among the most watched. Celtic Woman returns to Jacksonville once again with their electrifying new show!
