Come Fly Away at Ordway Center for the Performing Arts

This one-of-a-kind experience combines the seductive vocals of “Ol’ Blue Eyes” with the sizzling sound of a live big band and the creative vision of Tony Award-winning choreographer Twyla Tharp. Fifteen of the world’s best dancers tell the story of four couples falling in and out of love at a swinging night club on a star-lit evening. Come Fly Away features a score of beloved Sinatra classics including “Fly Me to the Moon,” “My Way,” “New York, New York,” and “Makin’ Whoopee.”

“A sleek, energizing mixture of Sinatra’s inimitable cool and Tharp’s kinetic heat, Come Fly Away sweeps you up in a spell so complete that only those resistant to the seductions of dance or the swing of Sinatra will be left on the other side of the velvet rope.” —The New York Times
