The Iron Man of the Mask sings "The Music of the Night."
His incredible range and variety of styles from Hamilton showstoppers: “Alexander Hamilton”, “My Shot”, and “I’ll be Back”, to a gutsy rock medley of “Can’t Take My Eyes Off of You”, “So Far Away”/ “I Feel the Earth Move”, “Piano Man”, and “Great Balls of Fire,” is mesmerizing.
Franc starred in Godfather III as Anthony, the opera-singing son of Michael Corleone. His Italian heritage gives authenticity and soul to his rendition of “Speak Softly Love” from the film, and to the classics “That’s Amore” and “Be Italian”.
Franc will sing rousing renditions of “Bring Him Home” from Les Misérables and “The Impossible Dream” from Man of La Mancha accompanied by the PCO Chorus.
And there is so much more to this program that you just have to see.
