Click here for more information on this production that runs through May 23"... a charming, fun, and brisk 90-minute nostalgic trip down memory lane for both Sinatra lovers and fans of the Great American Songbook...Director D. Scott Withers provides a brisk pace for the show while also allowing the more serious songs to resonate....choreographer Robert Kolby Harper adds a few fun upbeat dances and romantic steps that mirror the meaning in the lyrics...During the show, it's mentioned that when Sinatra was asked what the secret to success was, he said it was to "sing good songs." My Way: A Musical Tribute to Frank Sinatra may not be an earth-shattering new musical but it does present dozens of not just good, but great songs and is a fitting tribute to this famous man, a nostalgic trip back in time, and a beautiful way to hear more than 50 incredible songs sung by a talented quartet of Valley performers." -Gil Benbrook, Talkin' Broadway (click here to read the complete review)
"...David Grapes and Todd Olson use Sinatra’s hits to create a winning tribute “My Way: A Musical Tribute to Frank Sinatra.” This melodic, memory-filled entertainment uses four performers who sing his hit tunes in familiar arrangements and with a touch of dancing and easy movement like Sinatra used to punctuate his selections. All of Sinatra’s famous tunes are included so fans won’t be disappointed...." -Chris Curcio, Curtain Up Phoenix (click here to read the complete review)
"...Enter two couples: Trisha Ditsworth and Matravius Avent. Jessie Jo Pauley and James Gish. The four ~ clad in fashionable nightclub wear, dashingly designed by Sara Lindsey....Jessie Jo Pauley brings a powerful voice to her role...Gish is the ultimate showman....Matravius Avent's velvet voice and endearing personality bring warmth to the stage...A sizable share of songs belongs to Trisha Ditsworth whose charismatic presence and full-throttled voice elevate the show. ...MY WAY is music in the key of Sinatra ~ a show filled with vitality and class that flies one to the moon!" - Herbert Paine, Broadway World (click here to read the complete review)
