San Diego Native Soars In “Come Fly Away”
COME FLY AWAY, conceived, choreographed, and directed by Tony Award-winner Twyla Tharp and by special arrangement with the Frank Sinatra Family and Frank Sinatra Enterprises, is playing through November 13th at the San Diego Civic Theatre.
COME FLY AWAY follows four couples as they fall in and out of love during one song and dance filled evening at a crowded nightclub. Blending the legendary vocals of Frank Sinatra with a live on-stage big band and 14 of the world’s finest dancers, COME FLY AWAY weaves an unparalleled hit parade of classics, including “Fly Me To The Moon,” “My Way,” and “That’s Life,” into a soaring musical fantasy of romance and seduction.
The cast features several members of the original Broadway production, as well as San Diego native Marceea Moreno. Moreno trained at the Academy of Performing Arts San Diego and spent six years at California Ballet School. A graduate of Rancho Bernardo High School, she was featured in music videos for Mandy Moore, O Town and LFD, was Miss Dance World in 2000, and has starred in the Las Vegas shows Fashionistas, Le Reve, and Cirque du Soleil’s Zumanity.
