Sinatra The Musical will begin performances in June, charting the life and career of the legendary artist and cultural icon.
Featuring more than 20 timeless hits, Sinatra The Musical will open at Aldwych Theatre on 3rd June 2026, making its West End debut and booking until 10th April 2027.
Written by the two-time Tony award-winning writer Joe DiPietro and directed and choreographed by three-time Tony Award-winning Kathleen Marshall. The production will feature songs including That’s Life, One For My Baby, The Best Is Yet To Come & Come Fly With Me.
Joe DiPietro commented: “When Tina Sinatra approached me about writing a show detailing the origins of her father’s genius, she gave me unprecedented access to her dad’s personal story. Tina’s willingness to share the trials and triumphs of her father’s life has enabled Kathleen, myself and this remarkable team of theatre artists to create the most revealing portrait ever told about the legend that is Frank Sinatra.”
Tina Sinatra added: “My dad used to always say, “If I can’t feel it, I can’t sing it.” As a result, he wasn’t just singing songs, he was recording an emotional diary of his life. And it’s these classic songs that form the heart of Sinatra The Musical.
“Set against the backdrop of my father’s meteoric rise, the show reveals a more intimate portrait of the man than any interview or headline ever could. And just like my dad, it’s full of music and passion and humour. I am so proud to share his story – our story – at long last.”

About the show
It is New Year’s Eve, 1942, and a skinny 27-year-old Italian American singer is about to step onto the stage of New York’s Paramount Theatre and give a performance that will change music history.
As Frank Sinatra’s career suddenly skyrockets, he struggles with balancing the love of his wife, Nancy, against the demands and temptations of being the most popular singer in America. But when he begins a torrid affair with movie goddess Ava Gardner, his records stop selling and the press turns against him, sending his career into a tailspin.
Driven by his devotion to his family, Sinatra employs his peerless artistry and dogged determination to stage the greatest comeback in showbiz history.
Sinatra The Musical was originally produced at The Birmingham Rep where it played a sell-out season in 2023.
It is the first of a series of new projects and initiatives developed by Frank Sinatra Enterprises in partnership with Universal Music Group, the world leader in music-based entertainment, that will help introduce new audiences and generations of fans to the timeless singer’s rich catalogue and superstar legacy.
Casting and ticket information will be announced at a later date.
