  1. Most of the Broadway cast of Come Fly Away is in the Vegas version of the show. http://www.vegasnews.com/36621/sinatra-dance-with-me-announces-las-vegas-cast.html I saw Come Fly Away on Broadway and absolutely loved it!! I have admired most of cast since I first saw them in Movin' Out and seeing them again in CFA was such a treat. I think this show was very under-appreciated on Broadway and a little misunderstood. A lot of people went into the theater thinking they were going to see a musical about the life of Frank Sinatra, and they got a show that not only had nothing to do with Sinatra's life, but it was entirely dancing and had no dialogue. I think that was a big issue with the show's lack of success on Broadway, and that it was not advertised in the right way. However, I think Vegas is the perfect place for it, and Sinatra: Dance With Me has received fabulous reviews. The show is scheduled to run until Jan 29, but I wouldn't be surprised if they extended the run. A while ago there was talk of a national tour of the show, and as of now Come Fly Away is scheduled to run at the Four Seasons Center in Toronto, Canada in August of 2011.
  2. Keith starred as Tony in Tharp's Movin' Out which ran on Broadway from 2002-2005. He was nominated for Tony and Astaire awards for his amazing performance, and was with the show for most of its run, besides a brief period where he was recovering from an injury. After Movin' Out closed on Broadway, he joined the national tour of the show for a few months. Since then, he has assisted Twyla Tharp and staged her choreography with many companies around the world. In 2010 he starred on Broadway again in Twyla's newest musical Come Fly Away. He was again nominated for an Astaire Award for his performance. Come Fly Away closed on Broadway in September of 2010, and is running at the Encore Theatre in the Wynn Hotel in Las Vegas until January 29, under the name Sinatra: Dance With Me. While Come Fly Away is said to be launching a national tour this spring, the only scheduled venue for it is at the Four Seasons Theatre in Toronto, Canada in August of 2011. I saw Keith in both Movin' Out and Come Fly Away, and I can honestly say that no performer I have ever seen puts as much of themselves into their dancing than Keith Roberts. Just thinking about his performance at the closing show of CFA gets me a little emotional! Here is a video of Keith and Karine Plantadit performing a scene from Come Fly Away on So You Think You Can Dance last summer. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zz1Azjn6OTI Keith and the cast of Come Fly Away performing at the 2010 Tony Awards.

  3. I absolutely love John Selya. I saw this production of Guys and Dolls twice, and John was fabulous in it!! The show itself may not have been that strong, but John's dancing was incredible. Luck Be a Lady was definitely the highlight of the show. I saw John multiple times in Come Fly Away on Broadway last year...I do not even have words to describe how amazing he is!
