The Rat Pack Heads for Broadway

The old Rat Pack classic Robin and the Seven Hoods will get the Broadway treatment in a big new musical...but we're going to have to wait until 2010 to see it.

Set in Chicago during Prohibition with Rat Pack regulars Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin and Sammy Davis, Jr., the classic movie features Sinatra singing My Kind of Town and Come Fly With Me. Could be a winner.

Let's hope it does better than this spring's version of Gone With the Wind on the London stage. The $8 million musical flop closed three weeks early to scathing reviews. Plans to bring it to Broadway appear to be on hold, thank goodness.
