Some times people ask us, “What happens at Sofia’s when we are not
there?â€â€¦. Please see below!
My Sinatra, at Sofia's Downstairs Theater, Off Broadway!
My Sinatra is now playing at Sofia's Downstairs Theater at 221 West 46th
Street, inside the Edison Hotel.The star, Cary Hoffman, sings over 20 of
Sinatra's classic songs as a musical score to his hilarious and poignant
story...you won't believe your ears!
"The best Sinatra singer in the world!" Jackie Mason
"Dead on." New York Times
"Uncanny..." Crain's New York
"A mesmerizing musical memoir" Bloomspot
“Mesmerizing…A fascinating, intriguing, entertaining and touching tale of
the effect a star can have on a fan’s life.†– The LA Times
Performance schedule : Thursday and Fridays at 7:30pm, Saturdays at 8pm,
Sundays at 3pm
www.mysinatra.com
The devil-may-care style and incomparable charm of Frank Sinatra cascade
through the microphone once again at Cary Hoffman’s riveting one-man show, My
Sinatra. More than a cover concert, this musical performance explores the
sometimes strange, frequently funny, and always interesting life of Hoffman
himself, a Sinatra idolizer with an unparalleled ability to channel the voice
of Ol’ Blue Eyes.
Fatherless from an early age, Hoffman grew up under the stewardship of his
mother and four musician uncles—some of whom played with Sinatra himself in
studio recording sessions. Throughout My Sinatra, he smoothly interweaves his
personal tale of musical obsession with Sinatra’s own larger-than-life story,
densely dotting it with arresting performances of Sinatra’s greatest hits.
The end result is a mesmerizing musical memoir that completed a run of 16
sold-out months at the NYC Triad cabaret before moving to its new home at the
Midtown Theatre.
As the accompanying pianist splashes vibrant melodies from the ivory keys,
Hoffman’s infectious passion brings together this triumphant tribute to a
true American sensation. -Bloomspot
