When Anthony sings, the uncanny sound he creates cuts through the artifice and conjures a time when there was a true Chairman of the Board. He doesn't just sound like Sinatra, he evokes him. And he sticks mostly to Sinatra's big hits, so we can easily sail on this sea of nostalgia.
--Theatre Mania New York -The Siegel Column By: Barbara & Scott Siegel
"... [Gary Anthony] sat in with April Spain on a recent night at Fellini's and finessed Frank's greatest hits, then followed up with a spot-on Rodney Dangerfield. Anthony is so good at rendering the Chairman that he landed commercials for the NBA and Delta Airlines.
--Las Vegas Review-Journal COLUMN: John L. Smith
Anthony, who trained as a dancer, has gone to great lengths to mimic Sinatra's macho stance and cool movements. He even recreates mini signature sounds in his delivery. In the melody "My Way," he starts out singing, "An-dah- now…" The "dah" sound is probably unnoticed by most of the audience. But Sinatra aficionados recognize it from his recordings and it makes the rendition that much more authentic.
