The national tour of the Broadway hit Come Fly Away premieres in L.A. at the Pantages. Bringing together the legendary vocals of Frank Sinatra and the creative vision of Tony Award-winner Twyla Tharp (Movin' Out), this one-of-a-kind experience combines the seductive vocals of "Ol' Blue Eyes" with the sizzling sound of a live on-stage big band and the visceral thrill of Tharp's choreography. As 14 of the world's best dancers tell the story of four couples falling in and out of love, you will experience the exhilaration of a first kiss, the excitement of a first dance, and the bittersweet moments of a first good-bye in a world of sparkling romance and astonishing beauty. Come Fly Away features a host of beloved Sinatra classics, including "Fly Me to the Moon," "My Way," "New York, New York" and "Witchcraft." Tharp, who has previously worked with the music of Billy Joel in Movin' Out and Bob Dylan in The Times They Are A-Changin', was nominated for a 2010 Tony Award for Best Choreography for Come Fly Away.

The Sinatra tracks were beautifully remastered, and were lovely to listen to. It is great that union rules at the Pantages require a live orchestra, because it was totally enjoyable. We had high hopes for Tharp's choreography, but were disappointed. It was repetitive, not as challenging as a Broadway production, and a little ho-hum. The performers seemed talented, but their abilities were not challenged. In other words, the very thing we went to see - strong and imaginative choreography - was missing. I would have expected a lot more from such a talented choreographer as is Twyla Tharp.

Most people seemed quite happy with the show. There was the obligatory Los Angeles standing audience at the end (but LA audiences tend to stand, even for the worst productions). A possible explanation for the standing ovation in this case may be.......Because the company went on and on with interminable curtain call/encores it was necessary to stand in order to see what they were doing. I, too, finally arose to see what was going on. I know that Goldstar is offering much better options for your ticket dollar, and would think twice before betting on this pony.

Fabulous!! We'll see it again. Great turn out for this kind of music set to today's staging and dance. Super way to introduce young people to past music in their style.

Not quite what I expected. Didn't realize it was ALL dance to his songs. But, the dancing was PHENOMENAL!

Wonderful dance and big band sound. Not a wild dance fan, but this was most enjoyable. Make sure you take your opera glasses for close ups of the dancers, they are simply perfect.
