``The Rat Pack Is Back!'' with Creator David Cassidy.

LAS VEGAS -- David Cassidy, Along with Sandy Hackett and Dick Feeney, Announces Settlement in Cassidy's DRDC Productions' Lawsuit Against Hackett's TRP Entertainment LLC 

David Cassidy, along with Sandy Hackett and Dick Feeney, is pleased to announce a settlement in Cassidy's DRDC Productions, Inc.'s lawsuit against Hackett's TRP Entertainment LLC. The out of court settlement, the amount and terms of which are not being disclosed, protects DRDC's U.S. trademark for "The Rat Pack Is Back!." "It's a great win for everybody," said Cassidy, Hackett and Feeney.

Cassidy's "The Rat Pack Is Back!" was the original Las Vegas musical comedy theatrical production that depicts the fictional night in 1960 when the legendary foursome celebrated Frank's birthday on stage. The show was created by Cassidy and written with Emmy Award winning writer/producer Don Reo.

"TRPIB" debuted at the Desert Inn in Las Vegas in 1999 to rave reviews and sold out performances. After one year, the show moved to the Sahara Hotel where it remained in the Congo Room for 2 years, until the room closed for renovations. "TRPIB" took its show on the road - most notably to the Mohegan Sun in Connecticut, where it plays for several weeks each year.

TRP's show, "A Tribute to Frank, Sammy, Joey, and Dean," produced by Dick Feeney and Sandy Hackett, now entering its 5th year, has had a long and successful run in Las Vegas at the Greek Isles as well as in San Francisco, Chicago, Boston and Detroit. The show will be re-branded as "The Rat Pack Is Back! in The Tribute to Frank, Sammy, Joey, and Dean."

As part of the settlement, Cassidy has granted a license to TRP to use "The Rat Pack Is Back!." Some creative changes will be made, including Cassidy guest starring as the quartet's sidekick and protege, Bobby Darin, for the first weekend's performances of the newly titled show, on Saturday and Sunday, June 24 and 25. This marks Cassidy's return to Las Vegas for the first time since he starred in his theatrical production "At the Copa" at the Rio at the same time "The Rat Pack Is Back!" was enjoying its Sahara success. He has been touring in concert nationally and internationally since.

The show will continue its extended run in Las Vegas and already has dates scheduled in Dallas, Memphis, Dayton, Kansas City, El Paso and more cities to be named as dates are added for a national tour.
