Save On Come Fly Away This Summer

Now I'll be the first to admit that while Come Fly Away may not be a traditional musical like West Side Story or Billy Elliot it does have it's place on Broadway. Oh sure there may not be any dialogue but that never stopped Cats or Les Miz from becoming two of Broadway's longest running shows.

Anyway for those of you looking for a terrific show with some of the best dancer's to ever hit the Broadway stage then you can't go wrong with Come Fly Away. Featuring choreography by Tony winner Twyla Tharp and music by Frank Sinatra this show is perfect for couples looking for a romantic night on the town.

By the way for those of you who want tickets to see this Tony nominated musical there is no better time than the present. From now thru October 31, 2010 good seats are now available at prices that are lower than any other time of the year.

Be advised that this "Insider Deal" is good for all performances excluding October 9 and 10 and is subject to availability. Get your tickets to see Come Fly Away on Broadway. It is a night that you will never forget.

Customer Story

This week's customer story comes all the way from Mamaroneck, New York. About a month ago I received from a call from one of my regular customers who was looking for discount tickets to see Come Fly Away. Now while we sell all events for New York City including all Broadway and Off-Broadway shows we do have access to "Insider Deals" for over fifteen or more shows in the New York City area. Anyway I asked him when he wanted to go and he was very flexible with the dates. He just wanted the best seats at the best prices. Makes sense right? So after doing a little research I was able to find him great seats for the coming week. Not only that but a price that was lower that I had originally quoted him. After calling him with the good news he ordered four more tickets for the new Broadway revival of La Cage Aux Folles. Also at a discount. So there we are folks. Another satisfied customer. Will you be next?

Broadway Grosses

Well it's been six days since the Tony nomination's and now it's time to see if that had any effect on last weeks figures. Let's take a look. Once again it was the same six shows leading the pack. However last week a new show joined the million dollar club. The show? Fences starring two-time Academy Award winner Denzel Washington. Now we all know that the show would be a big seller. After all his last time on Broadway was a smash it as well.

Now another reason for it's bump in sales was probably due to it's ten Tony nominations last week. Besides the top seven shows six other shows grossed over $700,000 including Come Fly Away which continues to be a big seller despite being shut out in all the major categories for this year's Tony Awards. Expect more shows to see a boost in sales as we get closer to Tony night and beyond. Don't forget to check out the Tony Awards on June 13 on CBS. I know I'll be watching. Until next time theatre fans.

Come Fly Away

Well the reviews are in for Come Fly Away and as I promised in yesterday's blog I will be posting the reviews. For the most part I would say they were mixed. The New York Times seemed to really enjoy it while the other New York papers not as much. Judge for yourself. Now as I mentioned yesterday they are selling pretty well as of right now. Look no matter what the reviews say I would think the show will at least survive thru the Summer. We shall see. Until next time theatre fans.

Come Fly Away Opens Tonight

That's right theatre fans. Twyla Tharp's latest work Come Fly Away is set to open tonight at the Marquis Theatre on Broadway. Now while I saw the show a few weeks ago and enjoyed it for the most part I'm not sure what the critics are going to think. Her first show Movin Out was a favorite of mine when it opened back in late 2002 but I hated her second show The Times They Are A Changin. I know hate is a strong word but after her first triumph my expectations were very high.

So far the show has been grossing over $500,000 a week since it opened with last week selling at 83% capacity although most of those tickets were discounted. Look if the reviews are good hopefully sales will increase and it will be around for awhile. With all the more traditional musicals out there Come Fly Away is a nice change. I hope it lasts. We shall see. Check out tomorrows blog where I will post the reviews. Until next time theater fans.

One of my favorite shows of the past decade was Twyla Tharp's first Broadway triumph Movin' Out. The show which featured the music of Billy Joel enjoyed a four year run on Broadway.

Well now Ms. Tharp is set to return this Spring with here latest work.Come Fly Away, a new musical featuring the music of Frank Sinatra is set to begin previews at the Marquis Theatre on March 1 with an official opening set for March 24.

New York's Marriott Marquis Theater to Present Come Fly Away

With its first preview to play at New York City's Marriott Marquis Theater on March 1, 2010 (with a March 25, 2010 official opening night), a new song-and-dance show called Come Fly Away will get lots of attention this Spring in New York City. Come Fly Away is a brand new Twyla Tharp dance show which is about 4 couples and their love lives during one song and dance filled night at a very crowded night club. I understand that the Come Fly Away musical will have 14 dancers in the show and 19 musician's who will perform live onstage.

Twyla Tharp's amazing dance body of work was most recently seen on Broadway in Movin' Out, with music by legendary artist Billy Joel. Movin' Out played on Broadway for 1303 performances. It won the several 2003 Tony Awards including Best Musical and a Best Direction award for Ms. Tharp as well. In addition, Ms. Tharp handled the choreography for The Times They Are A Changin', a Bob Dylan themed musical. The latter didn't have much popular traction and closed only after a few months.

The Come Fly Away Broadway show will use "master recordings" of Frank Sinatra's music with the live band playing backup. Sinatra classics will include Fly Me To The Moon, My Way and many others that will sure to bring back amazing memories to those that are big fans from the Sinatra era.

As we gather additional information on how to purchase Come Fly Away tickets on Broadway, we will keep Applause Broadway Ticket News readers informed every step of the way. In the meantime, you may want to have a look at Applause Theater Service's unique below face value ticket deals on many popular Broadway Shows. Below Face Value is Applause's ongoing promotion to bring about lower prices on Broadway Show tickets for the theater-going public.

Stay tuned theater lovers, we'll keep you posted on Come Fly Away tickets again in the near future. My guess is that before the critic's give their reviews on Come Fly Away, that Applause will be able to offer its customers special pricing for the preview period of the show.

Cheers,
