Sinatra: Raw at Warehouse Four

Fans of legendary crooner Frank Sinatra… Get ready for a mesmerizing and fascinating show that offers deep insight into the man behind the singer.

Richard Shelton’s masterful show revealing the man behind the music comes to Warehouse Four in Dubai for the first time after a sell-out premiere season at Crazy Coqs and two acclaimed Edinburgh Fringe seasons. Taking place on Tuesday November 5 from 8pm, Shelton takes on the role of the generation-defining American singer Frank Sinatra just before his pre-retirement gig.

Richard Shelton, who wrote and performs in Sinatra: Raw, is one of the world’s most acclaimed Sinatra interpreters. Two parts theatre, one part song, Shelton’s take on ‘Ol’ Blue Eyes’ has won the performer praise from viewers and critics, while earning him an Offie nomination as Best Male Performance.

The production is set in Palm Springs, California, 1971, a time when Sinatra is facing retirement. The air is emotional with the artiste’s last cherished show. However, Sinatra’s blue eyes are bloodshot and his face crumpled with memories, booze, and cigarettes. Things take an unexpected turn when he drinks 'One for My Baby' too many.

This is the 2am Sinatra you dream of meeting. Dangerous. volatile. Brilliant.

It's a phenomenal portrayal of a man who for so long was the undoubted 'top dog' and for whom now in his later years, time has passed over.

If you only go to one theater show this year, make sure it's this one!
