__________________________________________________________________________________________A Note From Frankie

I've had a ball appearing several times in the Superstar Theater at Resorts International and The Hilton in Atlantic City, New Jersey, performing my own show comprised of The Great American Songbook with Vincent Falcone conducting the orchestra, and have been very pleased and appreciative of the newspaper coverage for those events.  Please click on the Press Room link, to the left of the screen and see what Phil Roura, journalist for the New York Daily News, and David Spatz, writer for the New Jersey Record & Atlantic City Weekly had to say.  Thanks guys for the great press.

A few years ago, I created a show entitled "That's Italian" starring Julius La Rosa, Dick Contino, Pete Barbutti and me.  Our very first appearance was to a SOLD OUT audience at the McCallum Theatre in Palm Desert, CA., where the response was simply overwhelming.  Bookings have continued to roll in including a repeat SOLD OUT performance at the McCallum last season and a return performance at the Cerritos Center For The Performing Arts in November of this year.

"That's Italian" has also appeared at Trump Marina in Atlantic City, New Jersey where the casino built a Columbus Day event around the show where it enjoyed a dynamic success.  We have also appeared in Chicago at the North Shore Center For The Performing Arts; Turning 
Stone Hotel and Casino in Syracuse, NY; Parker Playhouse in Fort Lauderdale, Florida; Thousand Oaks Performing Arts Center in Thousand Oaks, CA; The Venue At Horseshoe Casino in Hammond, Indiana, where I added the talents of Deana Martin (Dean's Daughter) and Jerry Vale.  To celebrate New Year's 2009, we appeared at the Eastside Cannery Casino Hotel to a standing room audience again with Jerry Vale as our Special Guest Star.

I am looking forward to my upcoming appearances in 2010 so please check out my Appearance Schedule link for further information.

Wow, what a life!!! And just think...I get paid for this.
