There is a show called "Perfectly Frank" about Francis of Assisi. The only licensing I can find is in Australia. http://www.origintheatrical.com.au/newsdetail.php?newsid=57 ------------- Chris Laning, Co-Host "Your Neighborhood Stage" Podcast http://www.NeighborhoodStage.com chris@neighborhoodstage.com |

| Do you mean the revue of Frank Loesser songs? I directed it years ago - it was then licensed by MTI - but, for some bizarre reason, it's been taken off their licensing list. Either nobody produced it and it wasn't considered a money maker for them - or the copyright owners (I think it's Jo Sullivan) pulled the rights. |

I thought it was a one man show about Frank Sinatra. One of has to be right. So how many actors does it take to figure our what a show's about. ------------- BD

I just found out that Tony Bennet also made an album titled "Perfectly Frank" - it seems to be a popular title

This just in: The studio wanting a younger hipper audeince has now decided to cast Harry Conick, Jr as Frank Sinatra in Perfectly Frank - The Musical. Tony Bennett will play himself as Frank's father (don't ask). The story will now be of a former Franciscan Monk turned lounge singer spreading the Gospel through crooning. Music is still by Frank Loesser with additional songs by KD Lang, KT Tunstil and Kate Bush....and he still puts in a cameo appearance as the piano player in a cabaret in war torn Assisi. ------------- BD
