LET ME BE FRANK

Award-winning vocalist Ben Jones and legendary pianist, composer and music director Ron Abel combine their considerable talent for an evening of side-splitting laughs and unbelievable music celebrating the deep catalog of Frank Sinatra.

Let Me Be Frank includes swinging Sinatra Standards and lush blue-eyed ballads from the songbooks of Cy Coleman, Duke Ellington, Harold Arlen, Johnny Mercer, Jacques Brel and Antonio Carlos Jobim. In this hilarious followup to Ben's two “Jaw-Dropping” (BroadwayWorld) 2022 solo shows–I Think I'm in Love and I Think We Should See Other People–Ben confronts Frank truths about marriage, family and a life in the entertainment industry.

Jones and Abel have brought their magic to stages all over the world and together bring an incredible depth and originality to Sinatra's hits and deep cuts alike. It’s an incredible and joyful presentation of some of the best music of the 20th century and an evening you won’t want to miss!
