General information
Legends of the 20th Century, idols of the music industry, superstars of the
movies, Frank Sinatra, Sammy Davis Jr and Dean Martin are above all renowned
worldwide for their talented voices. Their unique contribution to 20th
Century popular music is second to none. Frank, Sammy & Dean all received
critical acclaim quite late in their careers and it wasn’t until the late
50s and early 60s that they stormed the world and stayed at the top. As
their recordings still constantly chart high throughout the world, these
icons of American history, were a force to be reckoned with, an
inexhaustible energy which is still very much apparent.
This production takes a trip back to the glamorous, hot, glitzy nights of
Las Vegas and brings the music and lives of the legendary characters Frank,
Sammy and Dean together again.
We are looking for artistes with excellent swing singing voices and good
movement skills who can develop an affectionate tribute to these stars. The
director and creative team do not expect all artistes to necessarily be able
to come with a fully formed characterization, but are happy to work closely
with them over a period to develop their performances.
WE ARE LOOKING FOR EXPERIENCED SINGERS
TO PLAY AND COVER THE FOLLOWING ROLES:
FRANK SINATRA: Excellent vocal technique and tremendous charisma and easy charm, he must be
able to deliver swing numbers convincingly in front of a big band.

SAMMY DAVIS JR: An excellent singer and dancer, he has to swing and deliver a ballad like
nobody else. High notes up to A or B flat. Solid vocal technique, great
charisma.
