Relive the Music of the Legendary FRANK SINATRA!

Recently awarded the 2012 Excellence in Entertainment Award for TRIBUTE SHOW OF THE YEAR, Shades of Sinatra is an original musical production celebrating the extensive music and career of the great Frank Sinatra. Featuring over 30 of Sinatra's biggest hits, this show pays tribute to most of the signature Sinatra tunes one would expect, as well as several that may be new to casual fans. Its cast members create unique characters that celebrate him in their own ways, often drawing on experiences from their own lives; and in between songs and poignant stories, there is plenty of zany humor and good-natured ribbing among the cast, creating the vintage, off-the-cuff Vegas show atmosphere that is associated with Ol' Blue Eyes himself.

PRESS REVIEWS

“Lightning struck again this summer with the
Sinatra-themed revue…”
Mike Weatherford, Las Vegas Review-Journal


"...Singing hit after hit and medleys filled with the songs
you came to hear....The Man would have been proud of
what these four fine entertainers have done."
Norm Johnson, "It's The Norm" - Las Vegas Entertainment Events


"...Each is an excellent vocalist who does justice to
Sinatra's music....a highly entertaining little show - well
conceived, perceptive and intelligently assembled...."
Jerry Fink , The Las Vegas Sun


"We need to see more of this show after this four night
run. The show has been selling out and I'm sure as the
word spreads there will be a big demand for future shows..."
Steve Tuminello, Las Vegas At Its Best


"...This is a very seasoned and very in-sync team...

They clearly still enjoy working together and give the
numbers all their worth. These folks can sing. If you
want an hour and fifteen minutes of songs you know,
sung with passion, this show will make you happy."
Richard Lane, Vegas Chatter (in association with concierge.com)

BRIEF HISTORY OF THE SHOW

The notion of doing a show like Shades of Sinatra originally came from Vegas entertainer Kelly Clinton, who assembled three male singers that she knew were heavily influenced by and who loved to sing Sinatra's songs. She got the idea upon hearing the three of them arguing over album release dates and other Frank trivia one night. Kelly realized that putting singers from different backgrounds and generations together on stage to talk about their love of Frank Sinatra would create an interesting dynamic as a setting in which to sing some of the most beloved popular songs in history.

The three male leads (Carmine Mandia, Larry Liso, Ryan Baker) have been singing for years at restaurants, lounges and corporate events, not to mention production shows paying tribute to Sinatra and the Rat Pack. When Lisa Smith joined the group in 2006, she was a welcome female element, as her character brings not only humor and sexual tension but a real musical spark as well, leveraging her extensive theatrical background.

Since then, the act has evolved and developed over the years, playing in several different Las Vegas venues, as well as private and corporate events outside of the Vegas area. In 2007, under the talented musical direction of Ned Mills ("Lionardo Piano Follies"), the show won its first award for Best Tribute Show from the Entertainment Consumers' Exchange. They have headlined several times at the Suncoast Hotel & Casino and even opened twice for the one and only Don Rickles, at the Golden Nugget and The Orleans Hotel & Casino.
In early 2011, the Shades signed a contract with Ray Wolf Productions to do their show at the Clarion Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas, performing several nights a week in the Wolf Theater & Showroom, where they continue to get widespread acclaim from both the press and the public. Having already done over 200 shows at the Clarion since their run began, Shades of Sinatra shows no signs of stopping any time soon!

Tickets for Shades of Sinatra can be purchased at the box office (305 Convention Center Drive. Las Vegas, NV 89109), by calling 702-990-1524 or by visiting www.WolfTheaterLasVegas.com.
