Sinatra tribute brings back memories
On March 8, South Jackson Civic Center will entertain the audience with the Springer Theater production of My Way, A Tribute to Frank Sinatra, and bring back memories of the spirit and style of the late crooner’s stage shows.
With a career that spanned more than 50 years, Sinatra’s popularity seemed to grow with each successive generation. This romantic song and dance production is performed in the tradition of the swanky big city supper clubs of another era. Conceived and written by David Grapes and Todd Olson, My Way is an elegant and nostalgic celebration of a time when popular music was all about tender romance and the simple pleasures of love.
The Springer Theater is the state theater of Georgia and is located in the famous Springer Opera House of Columbus. This theater group has performed on the South Jackson stage in the past in Always Patsy Cline. My Way features a cast of silky smooth singers and an on-stage musical combo.
“My Way is the most stunning musical theatre hit to emerge in years,” says Springer artistic director, Paul R. Pierce. “I’m not sure anyone anticipated the outpouring of emotion that has become associated with this show. Ever since it opened at the Tennessee Repertory Theatre last year, producers have reported sell-out houses and audiences that just can’t seem to get enough of this music.”
My Way tickets are $25 each. Enjoy intermission in the grand old style of supper clubs and elegance.
Reservations for the show can be made by calling the South Jackson Civic Center at 455-5321 or online at www.southjackson.org, “Reservations”.
