Scott MarquartHOST
So also in this whole early 50s period of Sinatra, there's a lot going on in his private life.
Scott MarquartHOST
So in November, 1951, he marries Ava Gardner, um, in October, 1953, just about two years later, their plans to divorce are publicly announced.
Scott MarquartHOST
And then the divorce doesn't actually become final for several years thereafter.
Scott MarquartHOST
Um, so this album that comes out in 55 is recorded 54, 55 is really, uh, existing in the aftermath of this, this separation, even though they're not, uh, legally divorced yet.

Martha BarnetteHOST
Yeah, I suppose so.
Martha BarnetteHOST
I also have to wonder if that usage was influenced by the movie On The Beach, uh, which came out the year before, starring, uh, Gregory Peck and Ava Gardner and Fred Astaire.
Martha BarnetteHOST
There was a submarine featured prominently in that film, and also the song Waltzing Matilda was used to very moving effect.
Grant BarrettHOST
Oh, yeah, that's more than likely, right? But still, that's an incredible feat to circumnavigate the world underwater.

30 MINS LATER
Ana VillafañeGUEST
Yeah.
Ana VillafañeGUEST
Now I'm at a point where like, yeah, that's okay, right? But then there's those weird days, like sometimes on the second show, where like I've just done compression boots for an hour and now I'm walking on an incline downward in heels and I'm supposed to be like slow prowling like a panther.
Ana VillafañeGUEST
as Ava Gardner and I'm supposed to be, it's supposed to be really oozy and sensual and I'm like, and all eyes are on me.

The entire theater is looking at me.
Magic MHOST

Magic MHOST

Matt KoplikHOST
Ana Villafane.
Matt KoplikHOST
She plays Ava Gardner in this production.
Matt KoplikHOST
And then we also have a beloved British West End legend, Jenna Russell, as Frank Sinatra's mother.
Matt KoplikHOST
The reason why the tagline is The Legend That Almost Wasn't is that unlike most bio jukebox musicals, Sinatra does focus mostly on a specific decade of Frank Sinatra's life, which is for somebody who came out swinging, who had immediate success as a popular singer and then went into the movies and had immediate success there.
Matt KoplikHOST
He's married with a kid.
Matt KoplikHOST
We hear that, you know, all these girls are just storming the stage to dance.
Matt KoplikHOST
to touch him and he goes straight from there to Hollywood where he makes a movie with Gene Kelly that's huge he does like two or three other movies that also do really huge and then things start to spiral from there he meets Ava Gardner and leaves his wife for Ava Gardner he spirals from there because he just becomes Ava he becomes known as Ava Gardner's husband and then eventually he makes From Here to Eternity and then goes on his run of success but of course From Here to Eternity and his run of success is the last 10 to 15 minutes of the show.
Matt KoplikHOST
From the first 20 minutes of his success and the last 15 minutes of his success, that leaves us with two hours of Frank Sinatra flopping.
Joe PiscopoHOST
Seven Days in May with, uh, Burt Lancaster, Kirk Douglas.
Joe PiscopoHOST
It just, Ava Gardner, you gotta, you gotta, oh...
Joe PiscopoHOST
And, and, and they, they just, where the, where the military was gonna kind of go whatever, uh, uh, and go, uh, uh, take over the, uh, the, uh, government.
Joe PiscopoHOST
But it's, those are great, great movies.
