Sinatra The Musical Critic Reviews

"It provides an evening of excellent entertainment, divine vocals and a joyous expos into the life of one of the world's greatest stars. Closed out by a rendition of "New York, New York at the curtain call" it's hard to not be swept up in this fabulous work. And, as well reminded of in the show; if it wasn't for him most of us probably wouldn't have been conceived - and what a way to celebrate such an iconic star." - Theatre & Tonic

"Sinatra the Musical proves that, even 30 years after his death, Ol' Blue Eyes can still command an audience. A stylish and entertaining portrait of one of music's greatest icons, it's a musical that hits all the right notes. You'll be flying high all the way home." - London Theatre Direct

"Any narrative shortcomings are largely forgiven by the time the show reaches its finale. New York, New York is, unsurprisingly, held back to the end, sending the audience out on a high. For all its focus on doubt, excess and missteps, Sinatra The Musical ultimately succeeds, leaving you with a renewed appreciation for the music that made Frank Sinatra an enduring icon." - Theatre Weekly

"A brassy band and a star with swagger. Amid the celebration of ring-a-ding swing Joe DiPietro's script throws in ponderous slabs of exposition. Still, the ensemble at Aldwych Theatre, London, works its bobby socks off." - The Times

"Australian actor Phoebe Panaretos gives solid service as the beleaguered wife who puts up with the lusty intentions of her husband's fans. Her loyalty is stretched and finally snaps when Sinatra moves in with Gardner (Ana Villafae, scintillating) after torrid nights with the actor's bestie Lana Turner (Becky Anderson, sparkling) and Marlene Dietrich (Allana Taylor, spot on). Melissa Nettleford's elegant Billie Holiday wanders in later as if from another musical entirely, offering wise counsel and a beautifully sweet duet." - BroadwayWorld

"A lavish West End production, backed by the singer's estate, is packed with immortal songs and lifted by terrific performances." - The Telegraph

"Happily, Kathleen Marshall's production, complete with a fine ensemble and some joyful choreography, doesn't stint on the big hits on opening night you could literally hear the audience swoon." - The Guardian
