"David Cassidy, who along with partner Don Reo produces the recently canceled "The Rat Pack is Back" show at the Sahara, returned from vacation this week optimistic about the future of the tribute show. Seems that offers are coming in from Strip hotels and one "major player property" in Atlantic City, as well as from overseas.
"People are flying in from all over to see it," said the star of the Rio's "At The Copa" with Sheena Easton. "We're looking at a lot of different options right now."
Cassidy, who would like to see the show keep its current cast, is willing to entertain offers from anyone who can promise the "Rat Pack" a long-term commitment and keep the small-room intimacy that the show needs to work its charm.
Cassidy also said that the split with the Sahara was something he and the cast knew was coming for quite some time and it wasn't because of lack of popularity. "The fact is," Cassidy said, "despite the clientele at the Sahara, the show was still pulling in $15,000 to $20,000 in profits each week."
