July 10-29: My Way: A Musical Tribute to Frank Sinatra relives the legendary career of Frank Sinatra as four actors share more than 50 of his beloved hits that span the breadth of his career from the 1950s to the 1990s. Performing songs that include “Fly Me to the Moon,” “Chicago,” “New York, New York,” and “That’s Life” are four professional performers straight from the stages of New York City. This production is from the same team that brought the lives of Patsy Cline, Rosemary Clooney, and John Denver to the Main Street stage in previous summers.

My Way…A Musical Tribute to Frank Sinatra was originally conceived by Todd Olsen and David Grapes from a songbook of 1,300 tunes. They’ve selected more than 50 songs that showcase the iconic success story of a man often called the “Chairman of the Board” by fellow Rat Pack friends; a man who enjoyed his role and reputation as a saloon singer, dressed in a tuxedo with a glass of Jack Daniels in hand, doing what no other performer could do for more than 50 years.

Performances are at the Main Street Theatre and all general admission tickets are $40. Performances run Tuesdays through Saturdays at 8 p.m. and Sundays at 2 p.m. Don’t miss the magic!

To make a reservation (866) 749-2228 or purchase tickets. Please note that there will be no SSTI staff at the venues until two hours before every show. Please call with questions.

Thank you! As a novice to Hilton Head, can you please explain what ¨Lowcountry¨ means?

Sorry @Brancaneve , I just noticed your question.

The SC 'Lowcountry' is basically coastal South Carolina which is dotted with marsh land along the sea level areas. Locals frequently lovingly refer to the area as the 'Slowcountry' due to the typically relaxed pace of activity. From nearby Savannah, GA south along the Georgia coast the area is often referred to as the 'Coastal Empire', but is geographically and culturally similar to the Lowcountry.

From Wikipedia:
"The Lowcountry is a geographic and cultural region along South Carolina's coast, including the Sea Islands. Once known for its slave-based agricultural wealth in rice and indigofera, often referred to as indigo, that flourished in the hot subtropical climate, the Lowcountry today is known for its historic cities and communities, natural environment, cultural heritage, and tourism industry."
