A love of musical theatre sparked on a childhood cruise has grown into a full-blown stage career for one local performer, Nathaniel Savy is now bringing a nostalgic tribute to Frank Sinatra to the Proserpine Entertainment Centre.
To Be Frank is more than just a collection of Sinatra’s greatest hits, it’s a cabaret-style experience, blending live music with personal stories.
“It’s all the famous songs people love, but connected with monologues,” Nathaniel said.
“It’s about the pivotal points of my life and connecting them through song.”
Backed by a live 18-piece band made up of musicians from the Proserpine Citizens Band, the show promises a rich, full sound rarely heard outside major city venues.
“They do the performance at the markets and the Anzac Day marches,” Nathaniel explained.
“They're a group of really good and fun musicians, but they don't always get opportunities to perform, especially material like this.
“It has been lots of fun. I've been practising with them for the last month, and they just get better and better.
“I'm so excited for everyone to hear what we've been cooking up.”
After getting their start in high school productions of Grease and Singin’ in the Rain, Nathaniel went on to study musical theatre in Brisbane, graduating in 2022. Since then, he’s been in show after show.
Nathaniel’s passion for storytelling and music shines through in every aspect of the show.
“You can build something out of nothing, and music is so flexible, because there are so many different genres it can, it can be whatever you want it to be,” he explained.
“I like to call it; decorating the air.”
