“Dad never wrote a biography, and never would,” Tina Sinatra, Frank’s youngest daughter, recently told Tatler. “You can’t open a book and hear the music. He felt his music was his biography.” Enter the grand new musical about Sinatra’s life, produced by Tina. It begins on the night Sinatra’s career did—his solo debut on December 31, 1942, at the Paramount Theatre in New York. Helmed by the two-time Tony-winning director Joe DiPietro, Sinatra’s rapid rise, tempestuous affair with Ava Gardner, the eventual decline in his record sales, and his glorious rise once again play out to the sounds of his greatest hits. Broadway veteran Matt Doyle takes on the daunting role for the musical’s world premiere. —Jensen Davis
