New Year’s Day virtual show added for Arcada Theatre salute to Sinatra

The Arcada Theatre in St. Charles will present a prerecorded concert Jan. 1 celebrating Frank Sinatra’s recent 105th birthday to usher in 2021 with panache.

It was filmed live at the Arcada with 28 local celebrity artists performing 22 of Sinatra’s hits, ending with an all-artist performance of “My Way” done “We Are The World” style. The concert also can be enjoyed Dec. 24 and 25.

Included in the duos and trios was a rendition of the Sinatra and Elvis pairing for “Witchcraft/Love Me Tender” with local favorites Jonathan Lyons and Antonio Duca. The list of other artists includes Tony Ocean, Nick Pontarelli, John Vincent and Josie Falbo.

“I’m a huge Sinatra fan!” Ron Onesti, president and CEO of Onesti Entertainment and the Arcada Theatre, stated in a news release. “We do Sinatra Sundays at our venues with my homemade Italian feast , and always feature a local Sinatra-style singer. Obviously, we are all missing our Sinatra Sundays this year. I thought, what better way to pay tribute to Francis Albert Sinatra on his 105th birthday than bringing all of these local celebrities to perform his hits.”
