originally published: 10/23/2025


(HACKENSACK, NJ) -- On October 26, 2025 at 3:00pm, step back into the golden age of Las Vegas with Swinging with THE RAT PACK! at Hackensack Performing Arts Center (HACPAC). Relive the magic, charm, and chemistry of Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, and Sammy Davis Jr., brought to life by a phenomenal cast of performers who truly capture the essence of these iconic entertainers!

From the first note to the last laugh, prepare to be swept away by classics like “Luck Be a Lady,” “That’s Amore,” “The Lady Is a Tramp,” and “Candy Man.” This performance goes beyond merely replicating the music—it captures the improvisation and camaraderie that made every Rat Pack show unique and spontaneous.

Broadway actress Kristi Coombs will make a stunning guest appearance as Marilyn Monroe, adding an extra touch of Hollywood allure. Her dazzling tribute perfectly complements the unmatched charisma of Frank, Dean, and Sammy, recreating the magic of a golden era.

Each performer brings something extraordinary to the stage: Jesse Posa channels Frank Sinatra with acclaim, having performed at prestigious venues like Radio City Music Hall and BB King’s. Joe Perce embodies the wit and style of Dean Martin, with credits spanning television, Broadway, and film. Lloyd Diamond captivates as Sammy Davis Jr., showcasing his electrifying “Mr. Bojangles” moves, as seen on Showtime at the Apollo and America’s Got Talent. Broadway star Kristi Coombs completes the cast with her breathtaking portrayal of Marilyn Monroe, adding sparkle to an unforgettable evening.

Tickets are $45 and available for purchase online. Hackensack Performing Arts Center (HACPAC) is located at 102 State Street in Hackensack, New Jersey.
