In this absorbing show, a snappily dressed ensemble of four male and three female vocalists, accompanied by five musicians, takes the audience on a tour of the soul music genre. In addition to their singing talents, the group displays considerable dancing skills. The cast’s chemistry makes the duet performances especially memorable.
Talented actor-singer Robert Davi, a man of much gravitas, performs Frank Sinatra’s songs and discusses Sinatra’s life and career. He is accompanied by a nineteen-piece orchestra—a real big band.
The eager youngish performer Rick Faugno ambitiously sings, dances, and talks to the audience. He is supported by a small band. The act features some pop, some rock, a little Sinatra, some tap dancing and some small talk.
A big concert by a major star in a huge venue. Dion sings and talks about her family, accompanied by a large orchestra and backup singers. Advanced stage and lighting effects include an unexpected use of a hologram.
Manilow is eager to connect with his audience, and the audience responds by singing along, dancing, and waiving glow sticks. Remarkably, Manilow’s voice has remained substantially unchanged over the years. He is assisted by four backup singers/dancers and a ten-piece band. This is a highly professional concert by a very experienced artist, with great sound, lighting and stage effects.
A talented singing quartet performs Frank Sinatra’s songs. Their renditions are in many respects better than Sinatra’s. This is not an impersonation show, but rather a sophisticated small act involving songs, humor, and conversation about Sinatra’s career.
