The Tender Trapp: Christy Trapp sings Frank Sinatra
On the eve of Frank Sinatra’s birthday, Christy Trapp gets “frank” with a woman’s perspective on a man’s perspective, in this encore performance of a new show about Sinatra’s standards and double standards.
Christy Trapp taps into the Frank Sinatra songbook and Rat Pack repertoire (“All The Way,” “One For My Baby,” “Nice ‘N’ Easy,” “Wives and Lovers,” “I’m a Fool to Want You”) with a 21st Century spin and a sly eye on the lyrics that may or may not have stood the test of time. Award-winning musical director Alex Rybeck leads the trio, featuring Ray Kilday on bass and Rex Benincasa on drums, with direction by award-winning director Jeff Harnar. The Tender Trapp debuted at Don’t Tell Mama on Saturday, April 26, followed by performances on April 30 and May 31.
