Star of the West End’s ‘Rat Pack’ Gary Williams has no idea what he’s doing. Only the audience know what’s coming next and Gary waits for their command. Welcome to ‘Sinatra Jukebox’, a show full of surprises as Gary performs whatever the audience requests from 100 of Ol’ Blue Eyes’ best loved hits.
Described by The Times as “One of the best voices Britain has ever produced”. Williams has performed all over the world including Los Angeles, Tokyo, Melbourne and Sinatra’s original Palm Springs home.
Gary is joined by Harry the Piano who plays absolutely anything on piano (“Staggering virtuosity” The Sunday Times, “An uncanny ability” The Independent), has YouTube hits of over three million and is known for playing any tune in any style upon request (‘The best damn pianist in the civilised world’ Jonathan Ross).
Sharpen your pencils and catch Gary Williams and Harry the Piano, your very own walking, talking Sinatra Jukebox. Remember, if you don’t like this show you’ve only got yourself to blame!
Critics, organisers of musical festivals and audiences love Sinatra Jukebox. Here's what they say.
Sinatra Jukebox is one clever show. Besides performing some of the absolute copper-bottomed Sinatra hits we get a glimpse of two hugely skilled performers working with their audience to create a very special and absolute unique evening. If this is any kind of tribute show it is a tribute to the skills of two very remarkable entertainers!
Williams does not attempt an impersonation, but brings his own likeable persona to songs from the catalogue associated with the great Sinatra… Harry the Piano’s expert backing framing Williams’s beguiling treatment of words and music… His act has a party atmosphere which is infectious… the audience was not keen to let him go and encores followed… I think that most of admirers would have happily settled in for a dozen more…
Proving once again just what a consummate performer he is, Williams pays homage by delivering a sizzling two hours of easy entertainment. He is no slavish imitator of Sinatra but performs in his own style that occasionally has eerie echoes of the great man. The singer also has the talent to put his audience at their ease with his patter which mixes a bit of corn with topicality. He even manages to work in some election jokes.
Sinatra would have approved and you could almost believe he was there as Gary Williams and Harry the Piano celebrated his 100th birthday with 100 songs from which the audience selected their favourites. It is no wonder then that the delighted audience rose to its feet and demanded more.
He is personable, charming and we warm to him quickly. Harry’s personality and playing also added greatly to the atmosphere.
An evening listening to a singer who understands the magic of Sinatra and the vast number of excellent songs Frank sang during his career.
