I was in college when Frank Sinatra passed away, but have always appreciated his music and style.
A few years back we went to a Rat Pack "tribute" show at the Riviera and we're extremely disappointed. I've been dubious of tribute acts since. I decided that if the Venetian was going to host the show it must be better, so decided to take a chance. I'm so glad we did!
The make up process alone was extremely convincing. I don't think the promotional photos do it enough justice. He sounds, looks, and acts just like Frank Sinatra.
The music was outstanding, and he was accompanied by a full 32 piece orchestra. During the concert I mentioned to my wide that I was surprised at the advanced age of most of the orchestra. Turns out these same ladies and gentlemen REALLY did play with Frank, making it that much more real.
This was so convincing there were moments where I really believed I was watching Frank back in his hay day. You can see the man portraying him has a genuine respect for Frank Sinatra and isn't doing an impersonation so much as channelling the man himself. What a great show!
