Major new show Sinatra The Musical is transferring into the West End, getting a London premiere at the Aldwych Theatre.
Casting for the lead role of Frank Sinatra is to be announced.
Sinatra The Musical is playing at the Aldwych Theatre in London from 3 June 2026, booking to 10 April 2027.
The show is written by Tony Award-winning writer Joe DiPietro (Memphis the Musical, What’s New Pussycat?), and directed and choreographed by Tony Award-winner Kathleen Marshall (Top Hat, Anything Goes). Set design for the show is by Olivier Award-winner Peter McKintosh (Crazy for You, Orlando).
Sinatra The Musical features over twenty classic Frank Sinatra hits, including “That’s Life“, “One For My Baby“, “The Best Is Yet to Come” and “I‘ve Got the World on a String“, and promises to be the most revealing portrait ever told about the legendary singer.

In the show, it’s New Year’s Eve 1942, and a skinny 27-year-old Italian-American singer is about to step onto the stage of New York City’s Paramount Theatre and give a performance that will change music history. But as Frank Sinatra’s voice captures a nation, his heart is torn between his wife, Nancy, and movie goddess, Ava Gardner. When scandal and a hostile press send his career into a tailspin, the young crooner fights back and stages the greatest comeback in show business history.
Fully endorsed by the Sinatra family, Sinatra was first announced in March 2023, and premiered at The Rep in Birmingham in 2023, starring Matt Doyle.
Tina Sinatra said in a statement: “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.”
