Come From Away Tickets Promo Code

There is something about the feeling of love that enraptures us, suspending our senses at times and in others, sending them into overdrive. Overwhelmed by it, some of us are able to tap in to recessive vestibules of assertiveness that seemingly enables us to overcome hesitation, rendering everything else as petty and insignificant. And when the right kind of music strikes a synergy with it, such as the outpourings of one Ol’ Blue Eyes, the sensation is akin to hovering over the impediments that are strewn along the path to bliss. For many a generation, Frank Sinatra’s music has typified the essential accompaniment to infatuation and since last year has embellished the Broadway dance revue Come Fly Away. Gems such as “Fly Me to the Moon,” “Theme from New York, New York,” and “One for My Baby” are all encrusted in the performances of a 19-piece live band.

Come Fly Away depicts the troubles in paradise of four couples, following their journey from their first kiss to the thrill of two bodies encircling each other in dance to that dreaded falling-out as well as the flitting anticipation of reunion, drenching it all in scintillating choreography and spontaneous romance. The visceral dance numbers play out in the back drop of a fuzzy reverie unfolding in a nightclub, and though lacking any narrative, convey the various stages of the story’s evolution in stunning vitality.

Twyla Tharp , the creative force behind Come Fly Away has long played footsy with Sinatra’s music. Her tête-à-tête One More Frank in 1976 with Mikhail Baryshnikov was followed by a Nine Sinatra Songs that set a remarkable precedent for Come Fly Away six years later. Similar to its latter year spawning, Nine Sinatra Songs also featured 14 dancers sashaying to Ol’ Blue Eyes’ numbers such as “That’s Life” and “Strangers in the Night.” The new millennium saw Ms. Tharp Movin’ Out to the music of Bill Joel, and did so smashingly 1,331 times over. Come Fly Away, drawing the creative juices of set-designer James Youmans , costume designer Katherine Roth and sound and light engineers Peter McBoyle and Donald holder , has resulted in a heady cocktail of and is already blazing its own trail.

Come Fly Away began its flying lessons at the Alliance Theater in Atlanta in September 2009 and the fluttered its way through Broadway previews at the Marquis Theater starting in March 2010, opening to the public later that month. Though not being commercially successful during its Broadway run of some five months, Come Fly Away arose like a phoenix from the ashes of its box office receipts after re-opening in Sin City’s Wynn Las Vegas resort in December SINATRA Dance With Me . The Las Vegas reincarnation upped the ante and Come Fly Away soared towards a US National Tour in August of 2011, launching from the Atlanta’s Fabulous Fox Theater. The show has also alighted upon two Tony nominations, that of ‘Best Choreography’ as well as one in the ‘Best Featured Actress in a Musical’ category for Karine Plantadit . Tharp herself flew away with a Drama Desk Award for ‘Outstanding Choreography’.

Though not as sharp footed and intensive as the dance sequences in Burn the Floor , the ones executed by the ensemble of Come Fly Away stand in a class of their own. Though each pair of dancers excelled in their respective routines, such as the duo of Marceea Moreno and Martin Harvey whirling to “That’s Life,” it was the collective athleticism of the entire 14 member cast that immerses the entire performance in an aesthetic treat. With the Broadway version having given its audience a full course visual feast whilst lasting just ten minutes shy of two hours, the Pantages version spiced things up in a half-hour shorter snack that still had plentiful layers of ballet, waltz and tango infused moves.
