Join us for an overnight trip to the Big Apple and take in what the New York Times is calling a “dazzling new dance musical”: Come Fly Away, featuring the music of Frank Sinatra and choreography of Tony Award-winner Twyla Tharp.
Here’s an excerpt from the New York Times review:
In this dazzling new dance musical, which opened Thursday night at the Marquis Theater, Ms. Tharp deploys a stage full of brilliant performers to heighten the theatrical allure of ballroom dance, complementing the immortal appeal of Sinatra’s singing with movement that captures the underlying emotional tensions in it. The yearning to connect and the impulse toward flight — those contradictory verities of romantic entanglement — take sharp visceral form in Ms. Tharp’s fast, flashing, remarkably intricate dances.
