A Sinatra Reunion brings together four singers who started the Sinatra Party back in 2011 with Old Blue Eyes, a fundraiser for the Flagstaff Music Theatre production of Hello Dolly. It continued with a celebration of Sinatra’s 100th birthday in 2015 at Theatrikos and they were last seen together singing his songs at Charly’s in 2018. Frank Sinatra is to some, the greatest singer of the 20th century. His recordings of The Great American Songbook are classics and will be brought back to life on Sunday, August 17 at 3 p.m. at The Beaver Street Theatre. The theatre is the home of Flag Shakes, located at 11 South Beaver Street, #2 just behind The Beaver Street Brewery.
