More than I expected, I learned a
lot in the show about the career trajectory of Frank Sinatra. In the easygoing style of the
first act, Albert drew in the audience with his folksy style and reverse heckling.
He is a great story teller, charming us with his excitement and duplicity and
surprised us with his strong singing voice, supported no doubt by his awesome
band. Despite having been to many Soulpepper productions I was not aware of his
versatility. I was hoping for more songs and was not disappointed in the second
act, where the shift focused less on story-telling, with a very classy closing
of the story.
Lovely venue, by the way (Richmond Hill Centre for the Performing Arts) and not all that far for a down-towner.
