The Sinatra tribute, My Way, is jam-packed with memorable songs from a past era. "All of Me", "All the Way", "Fly Me to the Moon", "I've Got You Under My Skin", "Love and Marriage", "Moonlight Serenade", "New York, New York", "It Was a Very Good Year", and many more hits tunes create a nostalgic, but swinging evening of entertainment!

About the Show: Frank Sinatra was the very icon of cool with his classic elegance and unique, hip vocal arrangement of American musical standards. My Way celebrates the pivotal moments of Sinatra’s life which solidified his legendary status. This musical song review takes the audience from Sinatra’s early beginnings in New York during the 1940’s swing era, to the bright lights of Las Vegas with the Rat Pack in the 1960s, and to his final performances in the 1990s.
