This latest Rep production is brought to the stage by a world class creative team including writer and two-time Tony Award-winner Joe DiPietro ( What’s New Pussycat? and Memphis) and Olivier Award-winner and three-time Tony Award-winner, Kathleen Marshall ( Anything Goes and The Pajama Game). Driven by his devotion to his family, Sinatra employs his peerless artistry and dogged determination to stage the greatest comeback in showbiz history. But when he begins a torrid affair with movie goddess Ava Gardner, his records stop selling and the press turns against him, sending his career into a tailspin. As Frank Sinatra’s career suddenly skyrockets, he struggles with balancing the love of his wife, Nancy, against the demands and temptations of being the most popular singer in America. It is New Year’s Eve, 1942, and a skinny 27-year-old Italian-American singer is about to step onto the stage of New York’s Paramount Theatre and give a performance that will change music history.
