Moonlight, starlight and the Old West meet Hollywood and Las Vegas in a special evening celebrating The Rat Pack — Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin and Sammy Davis Jr. The occasion is the 11th annual “Reelin’ at the Ranch” event on Sunday, Sept. 7, presented by the Sedona International Film Festival. The evening will include a concert and comedy under the stars by the renowned, award-winning Rat Pack direct from Las Vegas.
Throw in a fine art auction, raffle, a concert and dinner by one of Sedona’s finest restaurants and you have the makings of a very special evening of film and festivities. This extraordinary stage production has traveled all over the world with Robbie Howard as Frank, Johnny Edwards as Dean, Alfredo Miller as Sammy. They are all cast members of the Rat Pack is Back in Las Vegas as well as the world famous Legends in Concert.
From Australia to New York to Las Vegas, this Rat Pack delivers the classic shows from the Sands Hotel and much more. From the days of Oceans Eleven through the Dean Martin Comedy Hour, the show is classic with some of the best music ever written and side-splitting comedy.
The New York Times raves: “Robbie Howard confidently coolly embodies Old Blue Eyes. Johnny Edwards is almost eerie in his vivid personal and vocal incarnation of Dean Martin, while Alfredo Miller lights up stage with Bojangles as Sammy Davis Jr.”
“You will truly be amazed! These guys so extraordinary and authentic, you would think the real Rat Pack is here with us!” said festival director Patrick Schweiss. “We are honored to pay tribute to the music and comedy of these icons in the entertainment world.”
Schweiss and the festival events team, headed by board chair Beverly Hurff, promise a few surprises to celebrate this special evening.
Reelin’ at the Ranch will take place at 5 p.m., Sunday, Sept. 7. In addition to the concert and comedy, guests will enjoy a lavish dinner, wine tastings featuring local vineyards (the official wines of the film festival), auction, raffle and much more.
The evening’s dinner is being prepared and donated by Reds Restaurant at Sedona Rouge Hotel & Spa. Executive Chef Ron Moler is preparing a special menu just for the occasion. Sedona Rouge and BMO Harris Bank are the title sponsors for this very special evening.
