⭐ SINATRA THE MUSICAL – WRITTEN BY JOE DIPIETRO – DIRECTED BY KATHLEEN MARSHALL – WORLD PREMIERE ANNOUNCED FOR BIRMINGHAM REP ⭐
The world premiere of Sinatra The Musical has been announced for the Birmingham Rep.
Sinatra The Musical is a brand new musical based on the life and career of the legendary artist and cultural icon Frank Sinatra.
It is New Year’s Eve, 1942, and a skinny 27-year-old Italian-American singer is about to step onto the stage of New York’s Paramount Theatre and give a performance that will change music history.
As Frank Sinatra’s career suddenly skyrockets, he struggles with balancing the love of his wife, Nancy, against the demands and temptations of being the most popular singer in America. But when he begins a torrid affair with movie goddess Ava Gardner, his records stop selling and the press turns against him, sending his career into a tailspin.
Driven by his devotion to his family, Sinatra employs his peerless artistry and dogged determination to stage the greatest comeback in showbiz history.
This latest Rep production is bought to the stage by a world class creative team including writer and two-time Tony Award-winner Joe DiPietro (What’s New Pussycat? and Memphis) and Olivier Award-winner and three-time Tony Award-winner, Kathleen Marshall (Anything Goes and The Pajama Game).
The first show of its kind to explore Frank’s life off stage and on, discover stories you don’t yet know, alongside songs you love, in this world premiere musical about his renowned life and enduring legacy.
Birmingham Rep in association with Universal Music Group Theatrical and Frank Sinatra EnterprisesPrice.
Sinatra The Musical will play the the Birmingham Rep, running from 23rd September – 28th October 2023.
