What I liked
Richard Shelton delivers a tour de force performance that transports audiences into the depths of Frank Sinatra’s soul. With his remarkable voice, masterful interpretation, and a script that beautifully captures the highs and lows of Sinatra’s life, Shelton creates an unforgettable theatrical experience. This show is a must-see for both Sinatra enthusiasts and those new to his music.
What I didn't like
My one complaint is that the show ran slightly over its advertised time period. While this wouldn’t normally be a problem, the music was definitely worth it, and I could have stayed and listened to his songs all evening. Thankfully, I did not have another Fringe show to attend afterward, but the strict start times of other shows could potentially throw off your schedule.
My overall impression
Richard Shelton’s SINATRA: RAW at Hollywood Fringe is a mesmerizing journey into Frank Sinatra’s soul. With remarkable interpretation and a powerful voice, Shelton brings the iconic singer to life. Directed by Andrew Lynford, this must-see show reveals Sinatra’s vulnerabilities and enigmatic charm.
