I saw Come Fly Away (Broadway) on 07/10/10. Overall, I'd say it was a 5-star rating. I'd summarize it by saying “Phenomenal! Beautiful dancing and a wonderful night of theatre you won't forget. ”

I had a fantastic time and left the show feeling inspired and excited. I'd describe the show as beautiful, moving, and exciting!. My way was a highlight of the show because the entire cast dancing together was so beautiful to watch. If this were a movie, I'd rate it PG. I would recommend this show to everyone but not to closed-minded theater go-ers.

I saw this show because I am a huge fan of Twyla Tharp and her dancers, and I love dance!. I would see it again. I sat in the left orchestra area of the theater. The view was great!! and the seats were comfy.

Simply Amazing. Broadway has been missing this kind of dancing for too long! Twyla has done it agan! The show is wonderful, but what really makes it is the dancers. Their passion and dedication to their dancing brought me to tears a few times throughout the night. There are no words to describe how incredible these dancers are. Being able to tell a story and convey such emotion without speaking a word is simply amazing. Everything about the show is visually stunning, from the lights, to the set, the costumes and the beautiful dancers. What I love most about Twyla's work is the fact that because there is no dialogue, the audience is able to create their own story between the characters as the night goes on. While some people might think younger kids would get bored with the show..thats not completely true..I took my 7 year old cousin to see it and he absolutely LOVED it! He is a big Sinatra fan himself, and the show really sparked his interest in bothdance and theater. We saw it together 5 months ago and he still talks about it every time I see him! I think thats part of what made the night so special for me. In addition to seeing this amazing show, I got to experience my cousin seeing his first Broadway show, and completely falling in love with it and the magic of Broadway!
Come Fly Away is must see for fans of dance and Frank Sinatra. I've already seen it twice and can't wait to go back again. Truly a dance masterpiece!
