Frank Sinatra Stage Musical: When, Where To Get Tickets and What To Expect

Frank Sinatra will be the subject of a theatrical musical.

On Wednesday, it was announced that a new stage musical based on the life of the late New York, New York singer is in development, with a book by Joe DiPietro and direction and choreography by Kathleen Marshall.

According to the show's official synopsis, "Sinatra The Musical" will cover the singer's career beginning on New Year's Eve 1942, as well as his affair with Ava Gardner and his "biggest comeback in show business history."

The musical is being produced by Universal Music Group Theatrical in collaboration with Sinatra's daughter Tina and Frank Sinatra Enterprises. "I'm excited to work with Universal Music Theatrical on this stage production that we believe will bring audiences new perspectives and insights into my father's renowned music and his enduring legacy," Tina said in a statement to Deadline.

Michele Anthony, EVP of Universal Music Group, added, "Frank Sinatra is one of the greatest icons of the 20th century. We're thrilled to work with Tina to produce this show that will be a continued evolution of Frank Sinatra's boundless cultural influence." Casting and production timeline details for the musical have not yet been revealed. The famous vocalist died at the age of 82 in 1998.

Sinatra The Musical will be produced by Michele Anthony, Bruce Resnikoff, and Scott Landis for Universal Music Group Theatrical, the musical theatre division of Universal Music Group, with Tina Sinatra and Charles Pignone serving as producers for Frank Sinatra Enterprises.

Currently in development, the script is being penned by DiPietro, a two-time Tony Award winner (for the book and soundtrack of Memphis) who most recently appeared on Broadway with the cult favorite Diana and will next be seen on the West End in the upcoming musical "What's New Pussycat?"

Frank Sinatra was the unquestioned king of New York, a musician who enjoyed unrestricted access to the city, according to the residents.

Sinatra was convinced he was in tune with the sensibilities of New Yorkers, and he was adamant that The Beatles would not succeed, but they proved him wrong. Sinatra and The Beatles have a lengthy history together. Infamously, the singer gave them his stamp of approval when he covered their song "Something," but at initially, he was not a fan of the group.

Sinatra was skeptical of The Beatles and did not expect them to replicate their success in Britain on the American continent. Before he knew it, Beatlemania had reached its peak. A brutally honest comment from Sinatra appears in the book George Harrison on George Harrisot.
