On Thursday, August 18th Come Fly Away danced its way into the hearts of Toronto audiences when the show had its official opening at The Four Seasons Centre for the Performing Arts. The show was conceived, choreographed and directed by Tony Award-winner Twyla Tharp and features music by Frank Sinatra (by special arrangement with the Frank Sinatra Family and Frank Sinatra Enterprises) and a live 14-piece band to accompany the tunes.
Some of the world's finest dancers (many of whom were part of the Broadway production) are along for the ride on the National Tour, which is currently enjoying its only Canadian stop in Toronto. The show blends Frank's legendary vocals with a live on-stage band (whom the audience loved) and the dancers to create a unique and electrifying theatre experience unlike anything most Torontonians had seen before.
BWW is thrilled to bring you an exclusive look at the opening night performance as well as the pre-show mingling, which included Dancap President Aubrey Dan mingling with some of the finalists from So You Think You Can Dance Canada.
