I saw Come Fly Away (Broadway) on 08/21/10. Overall, I'd say it was a 3-star rating. I'd summarize it by saying “An interesting concept, mostly well executed, but too long.”

I had a pretty good time and left the show feeling a little bored and a little disappointed. I'd describe the show as long, repetative, and well choreograped. The music was a highlight of the show because the band was great. If this were a movie, I'd rate it PG. I would recommend this show to friends, couples, students, dancers but not to kids.

I saw this show because it was closing. I wouldn't see it again. I sat in the left orchestra area of the theater. The view was good and clear and the seats were comfortable.

This dance show was mostly good. Each act was at least 10 minutes too long, All the dancers did their best and can't be faulted for anything. There were moments that were fantastic with wonderful choreography and an interesting story. By the end of each act it got to be a bit monotonous. When the curtain came down it was a relief to everyone in the theater. If this show had been shorter it probably would have been easier to sit through, because it wasn't all bad, it was just too long.
