A Truly Delightful Show!
As
a lifetime fan of the Chairman of the Board, Frank Sinatra, and who
has seen him in person, I have to say My Way, currently showing at
Lesher Center for the Arts, in downtown Walnut Creek, is a very good
show.
Documenting Frank’s career through his music, a cast of twelve singers and dancers, headed by Carlos Lpez,
Jessica Fisher, Michael Kern Cassidy and Chloe Condon, entertain you
for two full hours with this musical tribute that
will make you tap your feet with some of Sinatra’s best songs.
From the days of the Paramount Theater in New York City in 1942, to his very last days touring all around the world, and his death on May 14, 1998, Frank Sinatra recorded 1,300 songs establishing one of the greatest careers of any crooner in American history.

This musical is not
an impersonation of Sinatra, but rather a close look into his
fascinanting life, done with the glitter and style of one unique
entertainer, whose career in recording, television and movies is
unmatched to this day. All done with the great sound of a three-piece combo,
under the direction of César Cancino at the Piano, Michael Shiono at
Bass and Randy Hood at the Drums. And under the directiong and
choreography of Derrick J. Silva.
If
you are a Frank Sinatra fan, this is a must see, but also if you are
a Dean Martin, Sammy Davis Jr. (The Rat Pack), you will be pleased with
this bonanza of good music. Songs like Strangers in the Night to New
York, New York, from That’s Life”, to Nice ‘n Easy, Fly Me to
the Moon, to One for my Baby, the mother of all torch songs.
A
total of 56 Frank Sinatra hits are in this musical extravaganza, with
a 15 minute intermission. It ends September 29. The Lesher Center
for the Arts is centrally located, easy to find from all points in
the Bay Area. By BART is no more than a 15 minute walk from the
Walnut Creek station. If you drive, there is a parking garage next
door, $5.00.
I
liked it so much, I might go again before it ends, if you like live
music, great ambiance inside a great facility, it is worthwhile the
trip from San Francisco,San José,Fremont of Richmond, and if you
live in Walnut Creek, you are very lucky.
