The Segerstrom Center for the Arts presents Come Fly Away, the new Broadway musical conceived, choreographed and directed by Tony Award-winner Twyla Tharp by special arrangement with the Frank Sinatra Family and Frank Sinatra Enterprises. The show follows four couples as they fall in and out of love during one song-and-dance filled evening at a crowded nightclub. Blending the legendary vocals of Frank Sinatra with a live on-stage big band and 14 of the world's finest dancers, Come Fly Away is a soaring musical fantasy of romance and seduction that features an unparalleled hit parade of classics, including "Fly Me To The Moon," "My Way" and "That's Life." The show's score combines classic and newly discovered vocal performances from the Sinatra archives, along with Sinatra's signature arrangements by Nelson Riddle, Billy May and Quincy Jones and others, plus brand-new charts, for this fresh and innovative musical.

Even though the show was short, it was so much fun. The voice of Old Blue Eyes was soothing and beautifully accompanied by an amazingly talented live band. (The saxophone player was particularly phenomenal!). The dancers were great, but I did have some trouble understanding each of the stories they were trying to tell. Still, they were often breathtaking to watch. The apron-wearing klutz-like male dancer stood out among his peers as having amazing control of his body, great fluidity, and a talent for making his klutz-moments look actually klutzy (which I imagine takes some great skill and control of one's body). My favorite numbers included any with this male dancer, the Come Fly Away number, the -- ah, HOT number (clothes were being ripped off, I suddenly thought I might've gone to different show because while Sinatra can be sexy, I didn't expect it to be quite SO sexy -- but I did not find it objectionable at all. In fact, I felt the show was enhanced by this steamy number) -- and the final number. Overall, enjoyable though short and sweet.

Description

Come Fly Away, which premiered at the Alliance Theatre in Atlanta in 2009 and opened on Broadway the following year, is the next and most elaborate chapter in one of the most fruitful collaborations in contemporary dance. Tharp’s creative relationship with the music of Sinatra began in 1976 with the premiere of Once More Frank, a duet created for the American Ballet Theatre, and performed by Tharp and Mikhail Baryshnikov. The collaboration continued with Nine Sinatra Songs, Tharp’s acclaimed piece for 14 dancers, which had its world premiere with Twyla Tharp Dance in 1982, and was followed by Sinatra Suite, a duet featuring Baryshnikov and Elaine Kudo, which had its world premiere in 1984 with American Ballet Theatre at the Kennedy Center. Sinatra requested that Sinatra Suite be performed when he received his Kennedy Center Honors Award, citing it as one of the purest expressions of his body of work.
