Theatre By The Sea Opens 76th Season With MY WAY: A MUSICAL TRIBUTE

Theatre By The Sea owner and producer Bill Hanney, Producing Artistic Director Amiee Turner and Managing Producer Joel Kipper are proud to announce the opening of Theatre By The Sea's 76th Season with the Rhode Island premiere of My Way: A Musical Tribute to Frank Sinatra, sponsored by Luca Music and Piano Gallery of Rhode Island.

Don't expect to see a Sinatra impersonation - this must-see musical revue, celebrates the mystique of "Ol' Blue Eyes" and the music he made famous. Presented with four glorious singers in front of an onstage jazz trio, this witty and delightful revue features nearly 60 of Sinatra's greatest hits including "My Funny Valentine," "High Hopes," "Fly Me to the Moon," "I Only Have Eyes for You," and, of course, "My Way." You don't have to love Sinatra to love this show!

Ocean State Theatre Company is thrilled that David Grapes, the co-creator and original director of My Way: A Musical Tribute to Frank Sinatra, will serve as the director for the piece. The production is being choreographed by John Fredo and music directed by John C. Brown. Mr. Fredo, part of the original cast will also appear onstage alongside veteran performers Casey Erin Clark, Karen Jeffreys and Jason Watson.
