“My Buddy” Celebrating Buddy Hackett’s 100th Birthday with Sandy Hackett
Join us for a very special celebration celebrating Buddy Hackett's 100th Birthday as his son, Sandy Hackett, performs "My Buddy". Legendary comedian Buddy Hackett is brought to life in My Buddy, a live musical, theatrical production, told by the person closest to him...his son, Sandy Hackett. My Buddy takes the audience on a journey that explores the deep bond between a father and son. Sharing personal anecdotes, Sandy brilliantly captures the nuance of his father's comedic style as he reminisces about a lifetime together, including the 10 years they spent touring on the road, sharing stories and memories from the beginning days of Buddy's career, to his skyrocketing success as a movie star and night club entertainer, to being the most sought after comedian of his day - to his rule breaking, fearless comedic truth, which broke barriers paving the way for today's comedians.
My Buddy reveals never-before-heard stories about Buddy Hackett holding court with some of his friends: Johnny Carson, George Burns, Richard Pryor, Jerry Lewis, Bob Newhart, Phyllis Diller, Milton Berle, Danny Thomas, Sid Caesar, Woody Allen, Carol Burnett, Lucille Ball, Alan King, Mickey Rooney, Harvey Korman and countless more.
