Just in time to celebrate the 100^th birthday of the 20^th Century’s most celebrated entertainer- Frank Sinatra—Carnegie Hall headliner Tony DeSare and New York Times Editor’s Choice author Tom Santopietro have created a terrifically entertaining, 100% brand new evening of song and story to celebrate the music, life and legacy of The Chairman of the Board. 

Following in the footsteps of their nationally acclaimed Sinatra tribute The Best Is Yet to Come, Tony and Tom have created an entirely new celebration of the entertainment legend which explores his monumental legacy that continues to resonate today. In a terrifically entertaining evening of song and story, you’ll hear all of the most beloved Sinatra classics: “New York, New York”, “My Way”, “All the Way” “That’s Life!”, “I’ve Got You Under My Skin”, “High Hopes”, “Summer Wind” and a dozen more. You’ll learn the inside story behind Frank’s fascinating and tumultuous life: the rise to Hollywood stardom, the surprising romances with Ava Gardner and Mia Farrow, the access to Washington political power- and most of all the hard work and lifelong love of music and acting which drove him to unprecedented heights of success and power, making him the personification of the American dream. 

There’s certainly no better way to celebrate the Chairman of the Board and all of his beloved music than with singer/pianist Tony DeSare, whom the New York Times actually compared to Frank Sinatra himself, championing the hot new talent as “Two parts young Sinatra, and one part Billy Joel”. Now headlining with symphony orchestras across the country, singer, songwriter, and pianist DeSare’s reverence for the great American songbook marks him as the ideal interpreter of Frank’s greatest hits. 

Tony’s classic interpretations afford even greater pleasure when placed in the context of stories from Santopietro’s highly acclaimed Sinatra in Hollywood  (praised by Publisher’s Weekly as “Certain to satisfy Sinatra’s legions of fans”); Santopietro’s entertaining stories and fresh anecdotes explore the special place Sinatra holds in American life as legendary singer, Academy Award winning actor, and 100% American icon. 

Placing the emphasis where it always belongs- on the most beloved songs of the 20^th century- A Century of Sinatra provides an ideal mix of cultural insight, food for thought, and pure, joy-filled entertainment.
