“See Twyla Tharp's Come Fly Away for the dancing — it is rare to see dancers of this caliber on Broadway. Anchored by a series of duets, the choreography is a fluid mix of ballet and social dancing, and performed with an easy panache. The story, such as it is, is about different types of love, and the entire show is set to a medley of Frank Sinatra recordings, although Old Blue Eyes gets an update with the addition of a live singer and 19-piece big band.”
Alyssa Alpine, Flavorpill
Come Fly Away combines the seductive vocals of Frank Sinatra with the sizzling sound of a live 19-piece big band and the visceral thrill of Twyla Tharp’s choreography. Fifteen of the world’s best dancers tell the story of four couples falling in and out of love at a swinging nightclub on a sultry summer night, set to a score of beloved Sinatra classics including “The Summer Wind,” “Fly Me to the Moon,” “One for My Baby,” “My Way,” “Theme from New York, New York,” and “I’ve Got the World on a String.”
