A spokesman said: “The unmistakable voice of the one and only Frank Sinatra is celebrated in this acclaimed show. Richard Shelton stars with the Syd Lawrence Orchestra in this note-for-note recreation of The Chairman of the Board Retirement concert which includes That’s Life, All of Nothing at All and of course My Way, plus Angel Eyes, I’ve Got You Under My Skin and Fly Me to the Moon.

“At the Dorothy Chandler Pavilion, Los Angeles, June 13 1971, at the age of 55, Frank Sinatra announced he was retiring, bringing to an end his 36-year career in show business.

"His retirement concert was a milestone in music history and saw the passing of an icon and a golden era.

“Though it’s been 52 years since Sinatra’s voice was heard live for the last time this carefully and thoughtfully curated concert offers a unique chance to re-live the spirit and essence of the greatest crooner the world has ever heard.

“Singer and actor Richard Shelton has enjoyed West End success with the phenomenal Rat Pack Confidential.

"He’s a regular at the Ronnie Scotts Jazz club in Soho and has also starred on screen in films My Week with Marilyn and House of Lies and on the small screen in Emmerdale.

“The Syd Lawrence Big Band are considered the best big band in the land. Founded in 1967 by trumpeter and arranger Syd Lawrence, the orchestra has been thrilling audiences all over the world for over 50 years.”

“Renowned for its exciting blend of high-octane big band swing and classic dance music, the orchestra, directed since Syd’s retirement by Chris Dean, has a repertoire ranging from the wartime million-sellers of the legendary Glenn Miller through the era of the great Count Basie Orchestra to the hit songs of Frank Sinatra and Ella Fitzgerald.”
