FRANK! A Celebration of Ol’ Blue Eyes

From his debut with Harry James in 1939 through the swinging golden years at The Sands during the sixties, to his final goodbye at The MGM Grand in 1994, the magic of Sinatra live in concert is captured perfectly by the acclaimed David Alacey But this show is far more than a Tribute to Frank Sinatra. This lavish production encapsulates not only the wonderful music of the original legend, but also the remarkable personality of the star who ruled the world of entertainment for over half a century. Including all of the hit songs and anthems made popular by the legendary performer such as "Come Fly With Me", "The Lady Is A Tramp", "My Way", "Strangers in The Night" and of course, New York New York. These are performed with amazing accuracy by David Alacey, who not only sings like Ol' Blue Eyes, but also shares his unique mannerisms.

He is joined on stage by The Swinging Buddy Greco Band under the Direction of Mac Shone and guest stars including the multi-talented Mia Perry as Nancy Sinatra.
