Some times people ask us, “What happens at Sofia’s when we are not 
there?”…. 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
