Jukebox Musical Coming To MDT!

September 1, 2023 | The Paper of Montgomery County |
Dean Martin (Dustin Joplin Gonzalez), Frank Sinatra (Cameron Clark Ponce), and Sammy Davis, Jr. (Solomon Kee) come down to earth for one final show in The Rat Pack Lounge, running from September 8th through October 7th at Myers Dinner Theatre in Hillsboro, IN.

Myers Dinner Theatre is excited to continue their 2023 Main Stage season with the musical comedy, The Rat Pack Lounge. This show, featuring the music of Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, and Sammy Davis, Jr., will open on Friday, September 8th, with seating for dinner at 6:00 p.m. ET and the meal at 6:30. This play, directed by TJ Bird, will run through Saturday, October 7th.

Frank, Dean, and Sammy are up in heaven, but God tells them they left some unfinished business back on Earth. It seems Frank made an unfulfilled promise to Vic, the owner of the Rat Pack Lounge. Now he and the boys have one night to make things right. No need for look-alikes or impersonators— just a cast who can charm your audience with hits like “My Way,” “What Kind of Fool Am I?” and “Everybody Loves Somebody Sometime.” With over 30 hit songs, The Rat Pack Lounge will leave you singing and savoring the days of highballs and high rollers. This musical comedy will feature both veterans and newcomers to the MDT stage. The new faces are Cameron Clark Ponce (as William Saunders/Frank Sinatra), Dustin Joplin Gonzalez (Jeorge Rodrigues/Dean Martin), and Solomon Kee (Bobby Goldberg/Sammy

Davis, Jr.). We also welcome back Brett Frederickson (Vic Candelino) and Kristina Swearingen (Katherine Kerr/Angie/Secretary {Voice Over}) to the MDT stage. Live accompaniment will be provided by Henry Allan (Piano) and Scott A. Pauley (Drums/Bass)
