Michael Sonata

Now you can bring "Frank" to your event and relive a bygone era with the look, the voice and the musical stylings of Michael Sonata. As a professional actor and singer for over 30 years, Michael spent months researching, observing, and rehearsing his one-man act. And since it opened, his "Tribute to Frank" has received rave reviews everywhere he goes. (Some folks even think that he is lip-syncing to the original recordings!)

This is not just another "Rat Pack" guy. He becomes "The Sultan of Swoon". He dresses like him, walks like him, talks like him. But most of all he sings like him. And the music he sings - those fabulous songs from the Great American Songbook. Sung with full orchestrations just like the LPs you remember. Songs of love found and love lost. Songs of hope and optimism that permeated the American psyche in the 1950's. Songs that leave you feeling up. Romance, baby!

Mr. Sonata has price ranges for almost everyone's budget. From small intimate settings, to nightclubs, to the concert hall or Grandstand, your attendees will long talk of your event and the thrill of hearing and seeing "Frank" once again.

Michael's repertoire now includes over 100 of Frank's well known hits that he can tailor to your event. Any length program is available up to TWO HOURS.

• Michael Sonata performed a Sinatra tribute at my wedding on June 13th, 2009 and his performance was nothing short of sensational!! His show was truly one of the pinnacle moments in our wedding and we have gotten rave reviews from our guests as to how outstanding his rendition of Frank Sinatra was. His voice is superb, his body language and posture are so similar to Frank Sinatra that it was as if "Ole Blue Eyes" had been resurrected. I would recommend him to anyone looking for a unique form of entertainment for their party...especially if you are a Sinatra fan. This is something that dozens of my guests will never forget...AAAAA++++++++ worth every penny!!!! -- Richard C, Clinton Township, MI, 6/13/2009
• Michael Sonata is great, and he is a true professional in every sense of the word. You will not be disappointed. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed his talent. Thank you. -- Linda C, Boardman, OH, 10/4/2008
• We couldn't have been more pleased with this experience. My wife was very pleased as well as our guests spoke quite highly of this party and the entertainment provided by Mr. Sonata. Even my one grand daughter (6 years old) was singing his songs the next day. VERY PLEASED!!!!! -- Fred C, Canton, OH, 6/21/2008
• Michael was truly wonderful. He accommodated all of our special requests and customized an evening of music that suited all of my family for our wedding. As a professional musician in NYC myself, he exceeded my expectations. Many of my wedding guests were also professional musicians and they raved about the talent of Michael. He customized a night of music that included a live 12 piece orchestra and transported all of us to the Frank Sinatra Era from the first down beat. His voice and remarkable stage presence treated all of us to a magical experience of a true performer of yesteryear! Thank you Michael for sharing your gifts with us! -- Kelly Q, Clarion, PA, 9/18/2010
• We hosted an event for our 25th Anniversary with our valued employees, clients and vendors. Michael arrived early to set up and was attentive to all of our requests. He is considerate, classy and professional. As an entertainer his performance was astonishing! His embodiment of Sinatra is extraordinary and his voice is so similar that many people were asking if the audio was a recording! Our guests spoke throughout the night about his remarkable performance. Michael’s charisma on stage and his live interaction with the audience was a delight to watch. I would highly recommend Michael Sonata for any event. He has certainly mastered his craft and is a joy to work with! -- Alexander V, Fairview Park, OH, 10/1/2009
• Michael Sonata was absolutely amazing!! His performance was so detailed, that you truly felt as if, "old blue eyes" was there himself!!!!!! All the guests were in "awe" of the evening thanks to Michael. The party was a huge success, because of Michael Sonata's charm and talent which definitely set a gold standard. We hope he will be able to come back for our parents 50th anniversary celebration, because they too can't stop talking about the unbelievable performance of Michael Sonata! -- Lisa M, Cincinnati, OH, 9/12/2009
• Michael Sonata performed for my father's 80th birthday party today. I can best describe his performance with these three words "Outstanding, outstanding, outstanding"!. His tribute to Ole' Blue Eyes was by far the best I have ever heard. He is truly talented and sounds identical to Frank Sinatra. His demeanor, voice and character performance was right on. Hats off and many, many thanks for making this special event truly memorable! Highly recommend to anyone looking for a Frank Sinatra performance! Thanks much Michael! Tina Dick -- Tina D, Highland Hts, OH, 8/9/2009
• We were thrilled with Michael's performance and would have him back again. The crowd loved him and he was very professional. -- Shannon C, Morgantown, WV, 12/10/2011
• Of all the choices we made for our wedding, Michael Sonata was -- by far -- the best. When he hits that stage, the room is his and everyone starts moving. His attention to detail when it comes to Sinatra -- the phrasing, the movements -- is absolutely uncanny. Even beyond that, working with Michael was completely stress-free -- a phone call, an email, and I didn't have to worry about him. If you are planning a wedding -- this is the kind of person you desperately need. I would recommend him without a second's hesitation. This is not a corny Vegas act -- this is the music and the *feeling* of an era gone by that gets people of all ages out of their seats. The best. -- Brad R, Cleveland, OH, 8/13/2011
