| SINATRA MUSICAL SET FOR GOTHAM BOW IN 2003 |
| HOLLYWOOD (Variety) - But who will play Frank Sinatra? By Army Archerd That's the first question to be answered as Tina Sinatra says, "We have finally found the right partner to entrust and work with to present a unique tribute to the memories that Frank Sinatra left for the world." The "right partner" is Radio City Entertainment which has teamed with Frank Sinatra Enterprises to produce the first officially licensed and sanctioned live theatrical multimedia stage production celebrating Sinatra. There have been several Sinatra imitators, but James Sanna, senior vice president of marketing and business development for Radio City Entertainment, says their Sinatra production will "celebrate the life of a musical legend and revisit history in a creative and original way, creating a new theatrical medium and bring it to American audiences." Tina Sinatra is executive producer. The first production is slated to premiere at Radio City Music Hall next year. Sinatra's debut at RCMH was in 1978 (of course, he first made headlines with lines of bobbysoxers at the Paramount in December 1942). This multimedia production of Frank Sinatra's legacy is one of the first initiatives that Radio City Entertainment's relaunched Entertainment Properties division says it will announce over the next year. Tina's at Yankee Stadium Wednesday for "Frank Sinatra's New York Memories" to toss out the first ball before the game between the Yanks and Oakland A's. And Nancy Sinatra Jr. 's daughter A.J. (Lambert) sings the national anthem. Fans receive a commemorative CD to match Frank Sinatra's N.Y. memories. |

I haven't been inside the Music Hall since I saw Frank there in 1978. This sounds like a great reason to return. |

This is going to be a great support for the statue project. Hope the show will be a success. If I have the chance to go to NYC when the show's on I'll definately be there. Good luck! |

Great news. I can only hope that it will go on the road and make it to the Portland area. The chances of my making it to New York are slim. |

Lot's of work to be embarked on. But I sense alot of excitement on the horizon. This will be a show stomping, emotional roller coaster along with the good and bad parts of one's growing-up. Of course, the story of Frank Sinatra should be told, basically because so many critics said he had no chance of even making a dime. Or at least he would lose... Here's To The Winner's; lift up the glasses. Here's to the miracles..that we can see. Someone told him, "No". He turned, and said, "Yes". The rest is all but history, that only he could guess...Here's To The Winner's! |

I would love to see that show...I saw Frank there which was the last time he performed there.. I was sooo mad that they didn't show Tina and A J on television before the game.. |

Hi everyone, A good Morning to you, I was wondering if Frank Jr. would consider the part of his Dad for this show. Let me know what you think of this. Thanks, Lee :) |

I don't know if this is the right place to say thanks for the pictures from Frank's movies. The ones have seen so far are just wonderful. Thanks again. Jeanne |

Will an Actor portray Frank Sinatra in this Show, or will the Show be a multi-media Tribute to the real Frank Sinatra? |
