Sinatra may have been a man of many words, but “My Way: A Tribute to Frank Sinatra” is free of almost all dialogue — the focus is the music he made famous.

“My Way” is a musical revue created by David Grapes and Todd Olson that spans Sinatra’s musical career. From heart-felt ballads to catchy show tunes, “My Way” combines all the songs Sinatra was known for, including “New York, New York,” “I’ve Got the World on a String” and “My Funny Valentine.”

With the direction of John Viars (“Ragtime”) and music direction of Jeremy Randall, the Playhouse cast includes Brenda Ashley, Justin Givan (“Cabaret”), Sandra Henry (“Crazy for You”) and Mark A. Morrison (“The Will Rogers Follies”).

“There is a wealth of material that Sinatra sang, from ballads to show-stopping numbers, that anyone could find something they like,” Morrison says.

Morrison has been with the Des Moines Playhouse since 1990 and says he has been a Sinatra fan his whole life. He enjoys the crossovers and unique styles each actor adds to Sinatra’s music in “My Way.”

“I like the songs even more with their interpretation on it,” Morrison says. “Each person’s take on delivery and emotion of the song make it more unique.”

Henry says the songs of Sinatra are famous worldwide and capture audiences young and old. Many young people grew up watching their parents listen to “Old Blues Eyes.” His music moved people and still continues to do so today.

“Sinatra’s music is timeless and conveys a message no matter how old you are,” Henry says. “He wrote about things people care about.”

Henry says she has always loved theater and chose to get involved with the Des Moines Playhouse as a way to connect with the community. She found the small group for “My Way” very appealing and believes it adds to the music.

“This is a big stage musical with a very intimate feeling,” Henry says. “We’re all a close-knit family, and the material is phenomenal.”

Viars has been with the Des Moines Playhouse for 22 years and keeps busy directing musicals through the year. He says he enjoys Sinatra’s sense of style and believes “My Way” is a perfect musical for modern times.

“We are in a retro era where people admire things from the ’30s and ’40s, which proves Sinatra’s style is enduring through the times,” Viars says. “I admire that he did it his way.”
