Conceived by Eric Comstock, Hilary Kole and Christopher Gines, Our Sinatra originally opened at the Algonquin Hotel's famed Oak Room in August of 1999 before it was expanded as an Off-Broadway show at the Blue Angel Theatre in December of 1999. By the time it finished its run in July 2002 it had amassed 1,114 performances. Our Sinatra played off-Broadway at the legendary Birdland Jazz Club from November 2003 through March 2004.
