A show celebrating the life of Frank Sinatra is coming to the Lichfield Garrick.
That’s Life: The Frank Sinatra Story is at the city theatre on October 28 to commemorate the life and music of the inconic crooner.
The show’s creator Frank Cognoscenti – who has been singing as his hero for 15 years – will take on the lead role following appearances on the likes of The One Show and Good Morning Britain.
“I felt it was time to create a show that was dedicated to the man himself,” Frank said. “As a true fan, this is a dream come true for me to be able to create a show which combines Sinatra’s full and incredible life story, with 40 handpicked masterpieces from his impressive songbook.
“We have worked hard to recreate the exact sound of the original arrangements using a full orchestra for our studio recordings, as well as using the original recordings and concert performances as reference and inspiration.”
The show touches on events in Sinatra’s life and recreates key points in his career, such as The Frank Sinatra Show in 1952 with Louis Armstrong, The Royal Festival Hall concerts in 1962 and 1970, the Live at the Sands concert in 1965 and The Sinatra & Jobim TV Special in 1967.
Frank added: “I want the audience to enjoy and sing along to the classics, as well as hear some rarely performed gems. We want people to go away having seen the great details of Sinatra’s challenging but incredible life.
“This is quite a large-scale production, with an incredible amount of thought and hard work, out of love and respect for Sinatra. This is like no other Sinatra Show that has toured before.”
Tickets for That’s Life: The Frank Sinatra Story are £21 and can be booked online or by calling the box office on 01543 412121.
