JUNCTION CITY, Kan. - Aug. 1, 2016 - PRLog -- Fans were shocked by the unthinkable. The year was 1988 when the famed "Rat Pack" trio of Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin and Sammy Davis Jr. returned to the stage for a final concert tour. But after just five shows, an ailing Dean Martin withdrew himself from the tour – leaving what seemed to be an insurmountable void. But leave it to Sinatra, with his instinctive flair for showmanship, to devise a brilliant plan: Get Liza!
That's how the show billed as "The Ultimate Event" was born. And the inspired combination of Frank Sinatra and Liza Minnelli would become a national sensation.
Now, the thrill is back – with the exhilarating musical tribute "FRANK & LIZA"! The show is a rapid-paced musical journey through the classic and timeless hits of Frank Sinatra with the Broadway-like song and dance spectacle that is Liza Minnelli's trademark. Described as "warm, witty and sexy", the show features a remarkable exchange of music, humor and dazzling duets between two of the most talented artists working today – Suzanne Goulet and Dave Halston.
"FRANK & LIZA" will come to Junction City, Kansas on Saturday, August 13 for one performance at the beautifully renovated C.L. Hoover Opera House. Seating is limited, but tickets are still available online for $22.
About the Artists:
Dave Halston comes with an impressive pedigree – working a plethora of special events, weddings, theatres and casinos coast to coast – and in most cases, leaving the audience stunned. As one observer described it, "Dave Halston somehow casts a spell, and they always want more." Even Barbara Sinatra was brought to tears when Dave performed for her at a rather exclusive private event. She called his performance "wonderful" and noted specifically the fine job Dave did with Sinatra's signature song "My Way".
Not only has he delivered a command performance for Mrs. Sinatra, he has also entertained Jeanne Martin (Mrs. Dean Martin), recording artists Michael Feinstein, Steve Tyrell and Mr. Las Vegas himself, Wayne Newton, among other notables. More about Dave
