Come Fly Away
Closing on September 5, 2010
Celebrating love and life, Come Fly Away is a new musical that follows four couples falling in and out of love. The show shares the full spectrum of emotion we all know as “this thing called love.” Set in a crowded night-club the dance driven evening is sexy… athletic… passionate… and filled with optimism.
By special arrangement with Frank Sinatra Enterprises and The Sinatra Family, Come Fly Away features original recorded “masters” of Frank Sinatra’s voice backed by the live on stage big band. The music combines newly discovered renditions of Sinatra’s voice, with signature arrangements (Count Basie, Nelsen Riddle, Quincy Jones et al) as well as brand new charts for this fresh innovative musical.
Remember that song…that dance…that special someone…that moment when you fell in love… and fell in love again. This is one night out you’ll never forget.
