Frank Sinatra is coming to the famed Apollo Theater on Thursday for a very special evening
Producers of “Sinatra, The Musical,” as well as the Chairman of the Board’s estate, are bringing their musical in with a full orchestra for one night only.
Broadway star Matt Doyle croons Frank’s biggest hits, and the large of theatre vets includes Brad Oscar of “The Producers” and other hits.
The great Kathleen Marshall is director and choreographer, while Joe DiPietro wrote the book.
Frank’s daughter, Tina, has done an amazing job overseeing her dad’s legacy with documentaries and reissued recordings. She says: “When my dad was a boy, he’d sit on a Hoboken wharf and stare at the Manhattan skyline. New York was his dream, and a Broadway musical about his early years has been my dream. I didn’t think it was possible, but this show truly captures his sound and spirit.”
“Sinatra The Musical” is executive produced by Scott Landis and Mark Shacket at Foresight Theatrical serves as the General Manager. The show had a tryout run in the UK in 2023 and got rave reviews. I’m told that if the stars align (meaning backers love it, too) the show could hit Broadway any time next year. “They’re ready to go,” says a source.
Me? I could listen to Sinatra every day. Who couldn’t? If ever there was a “jukebox musical” for everyone, this is it!
