I hope I get the chance to see this piece. I saw "come fly away" on broadway a few years ago, which was a Twyla Tharp dance program set to Sinatra songs. I love how her movements interact with a lot of his slower music, and it would be great to see choreography of hers that was initially built with these songs in mind. Same for the other half of the program-Philip Glass was one of the composers I researched for Crucible, and i have high hopes for how his work might interact with hers. Can't wait to see it or read a review!
