"All of them hosted variety shows. They were in films together. They were everywhere. And there was this style of banter they shared, putting each other down, building each other up. It's so rare. I had to find performers that had that quality." One result of that, she said, is that "our rehearsals are very jovial." The cast includes a mixture of old friends and new faces. There's Bradley Kieper, who plays the Dean Martin character, returning musical director Paul Rigano who worked on last year's "The Little Mermaid," and Randa Meierhenry, who plays Angie the Angel, who's in charge of the three.

Paired with them are newcomers Greg Matzker, Jake DuVall-Early, and Max Mattox. "This is a great group of people. I'm thrilled to see where this journey is going to go." "The Rat Pack Lounge" by James Hindman and Ray Roderick, Musical Arrangements by John Glaudini, continues until May 20.
