To celebrate what would have been Frank Sinatra's 100th birthday, Capital City Players is presenting his life in music in "My Way: The Life and Music of Frank Sinatra."
Brandon Sankpill is the director with set design by his uncle, Nate Sankpill.
The show is set in a cocktail lounge, and the cast of seven sings various medleys of Sinatra songs throughout his career. In between songs, there is some dialogue to tell about the life of the singer.
Each cast member sings various medleys as they go about their jobs in the lounge. They also interact with the audience, which makes it more fun and involves everyone.
The audience can enjoy many of the tunes from the classic entertainer such as "Lady is a Tramp," "My Way," "I've Got you Under my Skin" "New York, New York," "Luck be a Lady," "Young at Heart," "Fly me to the Moon," "My Funny Valentine," "My Kind of Town," "Old Black Magic," "High Hopes" and many more. In total, through medleys, there are approximately 57 songs.
The cast includes: Li Ajuzie, Michelle Baker, Sarah Dent. Tori Stapanek, Josh Lehto, Brandon Sankpill and Mike Schooley.
"Come for a fun evening of songs and entertainment suitable for all ages," Sankpill said.
