About
Paul Anka on Tour
If anyone's earned the right to mount a touring revue of Frank Sinatra songs, it's Paul Anka. Not only was the Canadian crooner among a wave of pop phenoms vying for the title of "The Next Sinatra" in the late 1950s, he would go on to pen the lyrics to Ol' Blue Eyes' signature song, "My Way," in 1969. So to celebrate his 60th year in showbiz, Anka is paying tribute to the man who arguably made it all possible — both as a formative influence and as a career-defining collaborator. After debuting in 2018, The Anka Sings Sinatra tour extends into spring of 2020. But while the setlist is stacked with Sinatra standards, you'll also hear Anka delve into his own repertoire of classics, as well as his singular interpretations of songs by Elton John, Prince, Creedence Clearwater Revival and many more. As the man himself puts it, Anka Sings Sinatra is a night of "his songs, my songs — my way!"
Paul Anka in Concert
Though he first emerged as a singer in the Sinatra mold, Paul Anka was really the first Justin Bieber — a ‘50s-era prototype for the teen idol. Born in Ottawa, Anka was determined to become a pop star before he hit high school — and after pounding the music-industry pavement in L.A. and New York, he scored an international No. 1 smash with the breezy, brassy confection "Diana," released in 1957 on the eve of his 16th birthday. The hit streak would continue with charmingly self-deprecating ballads like "Lonely Boy" and "Put Your Head on My Shoulder." As his style of innocent, prom-dance pop was displaced by the harder-edged rock ‘n' roll sounds of the ‘60s, Anka also enjoyed a fruitful career as a composer, writing the theme song for The Tonight Show as well as major hits for Tom Jones ("She's a Lady") and Frank Sinatra ("My Way"). But even if his days as a chart-topping artist are behind him, Anka has managed to stay in the contemporary pop conversation. His 2005 comeback album, Rock Swings, gave grunge standards by Nirvana and Soundgarden the Vegas treatment, while his aborted ‘80s-era collaborations with Michael Jackson eventually saw the light of day in the late 2000s — and even earned Anka a songwriting credit on Drake's 2018 album Scorpion, which sampled the Anka/MJ co-write "Don't Matter to Me."

Rating: 5 out of 5 A Terrific Show
by Mary S on 3/21/24Au-Rene Theater at the Broward Center - Ft LauderdalePaul Anka gave a terrific show, singing all of his hits songs and more! he’s very dynamic energetic and I admired his energy and enthusiasm with the crowd. My only concern was how these old women in their late 70s and 80s flooded the stage trying to get to him and he was getting very tired of it. The audience was out of control with these old women trying to stampede him and they should’ve had more security protecting him from this kind of nonsense, so that the rest of the audience could have enjoyed his performance more!

Rating: 5 out of 5 Great show & venue!
by JoyV on 1/25/24NYCB Theatre at Westbury - WestburyPositives: Great theatre in the round venue and show!! If escorting elderly, be sure to arrive super early to park close, drop off near door or get special parking, which you need to arrive early for as well. Park free except for special parking. The wonderful staff were awesome assisting folks to find their seats. Lil neg: 1-when expecting an elderly crowd, perhaps the venue could put up tent or some type of wind/weather barrier...my mom as well as others were cold standing on line outside to go thru security before entering venue. Thankful wasn't pouring freezing rain! 2-better seating chart when booking tickets so can assess if would be behind the band. (Although you would still enjoy show). Also to see which aisles are connected to the stage since Paul Anka likes to sing up and down the aisles we would've enjoyed that but aisle was blocked to stage, so would have chosen different seats. Will continue to go to this wonderful venue!!

by Steph on 11/15/23NYCB Theatre at Westbury - WestburyI admittedly went to the show not expecting very much but was taken by surprise with how much I enjoyed it. Paul Anka is a great performer who exudes talent through his showmanship and ability to connect with the audience. His fans show their love for him the minute he takes the stage and he returns it right back. His ability to interact with this fans is one of his qualities that sets him apart and makes the audience feel part of the show. His songs were wonderful and at times very touching.. The musicians were all very talented! I thoroughly enjoyed the show and would definitely go to another. Color me a new fan!
