One More For The Road

07/18/2023, 07:30 PM – 09:30 PM

One More For The Road honors the musical legacy of Frank Sinatra and his tremendous contribution

to the Great American Songbook. A must-see show, fans can experience Frank and his music at the

peak of his career. Direct from Carnegie Hall, this captivating concert stars Bob Anderson. VH1 voted

Anderson the number one celebrity impersonator in the world, an honor that was also given to him by

People Magazine. In addition to his exacting impressions, he is a highly acclaimed singer.

Anderson not only sings like Sinatra, but he also looks just like him, thanks to a complete

transformation by Ron Wild, an Emmy award-winning makeup artist. In this 90-minute performance,

Anderson is accompanied by a 32-piece orchestra playing Sinatra's original arrangements and his

most-loved song titles including “I’ve Got You Under My Skin,” “Fly Me to the Moon,” “My Way,” “New

York, New York,” “That’s Life,” “My Kind of Town (Chicago Is)” and many others.

Anderson's story reads like a classic novel. In 1973, he snuck into the Sahara's Congo Room to watch

a Nancy Sinatra rehearsal. During that rehearsal, Nancy's opening act, the Everly Brothers, got into

an argument and walked out. Enter 23-year-old Anderson. He told the musical conductor that he was

a singer; with only a few hours until the start of the show and no opening act, Nancy’s producer

handed Anderson a mic and let him prove himself. Anderson went on in place of the Everly Brothers

and played the entire two-week engagement at the Sahara.

Shortly after that engagement, Anderson accompanied Nancy to The Merv Griffin Show. That was

Anderson's first appearance on national television, and he received a standing ovation. He soon

became a regular on talk and variety shows with more than 200 appearances collectively on

Showtime, HBO, The Mike Douglas Show, The Merv Griffin Show, Late Night with David Letterman

and The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson.

Anderson has performed in more Las Vegas showrooms than just about anyone. When Las Vegas

celebrated 50 years of entertainment, Anderson was voted number twelve between Barbra Streisand

and Ray Charles, on a list of Las Vegas' all-time-favorite acts. He also wrote and starred in the awardwinning show, FRANK The Man, The Music at The Palazzo Theater in Vegas.
