COME FLY AWAY announced as seventh show in 2011-2012 Bushnell Broadway Series!

We are thrilled to announce the seventh and final show in our 2011-2012 Bushnell Broadway Series! COME FLY AWAY will make its Connecticut premiere at The Bushnell May 29-June 3, 2012!

COME FLAY AWAY is the new Broadway musical that brings 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.”
