Sedona AZ (June 30, 2014) – Award-winning, world-renowned impersonator and tribute artist Robbie Howard brings his acclaimed live production “An Evening with Frank Sinatra and Friends” to Sedona when he performs on the Goldenstein Stage at the Mary D. Fisher Theatre. There will be three performances July 11-13, presented by the Sedona International Film Festival. The show pays tribute to the one of the world’s most beloved crooners and a cast of other famous characters.
Capturing the essence of Frank Sinatra, Robbie Howard stands apart from other tribute artists. He works the audience with the same charisma as Old Blue Eyes himself. The music, the comedy, the wit, the smile — they are all there as Howard smoothly brings The Rat Pack era Sinatra back to life in a modern setting. The “Chairman of the Board” that Howard portrays is cool and hip, appealing to all age demographics. His gift of improvisational comedy delights crowds whether it be a Las Vegas audience stage shows around the world.
Howard has been headlining acts in Las Vegas for more than 20 years. His hit shows “Hurray America” and “Stars of the Strip” sold out for over a decade in Las Vegas.
With an arsenal of over 60 different vocal impressions — in addition to Frank Sinatra — Howard can be seen regularly as the most versatile cast member of The Rat Pack is Back at the Rio Hotel in Las Vegas, playing both Frank Sinatra and Dean Martin, while also serving as the show’s writer and director.
This evening, Sedona audiences will experience all these shows rolled into one. Frank Sinatra will host and bring to the stage not only his Rat Pack pals, but personalities from the baby boomer era such as Johnny Carson, Willie Nelson, Julio Iglesias, Andy Williams, Paul Anka, Tom Jones, Joe Cocker, Ray Charles, Barry Manilow and many more. They are sure to capture the hearts and laughter of Sedona’s delighted audience!
There will be three performances of “An Evening with Frank Sinatra and Friends” July 11-13. Showtimes will be 7 p.m. on Friday and Saturday, July 11 and 12; and a 2 p.m. matinee on Sunday, July 13.
