Where did you get that healthy glow?

We hear you believe in taking care of yourself inside and out. That you get heart and lung cancer screenings. And that you take advantage of the latest technology, like digital mammography.

During your pregnancy, you took childbirth and early parenting classes. And when your baby was born, you had your very own team of nurses.

You even got rid of fibroid pain (with just the tiniest of scars) through uterine fibroid embolization (UFE).

We know your secret. And we’re sharing it so everyone can now say, “Hello, WellStar.”

We believe in life well-lived.

Hello, gorgeous.

22,000 children die every day from preventable causes.

If you believe that number should be zero

give.

Because of donors like you, UNICEF is ableto provide children with lifesaving medicine;food; clean, safe water to drink; and help inemergencies. UNICEF has saved more children’s lives than any humanitarian organization in the world. Still, 22,000 children die every day from preventable causes. With your help, that number could be zero. I believe in zero. Do you?

Twyla Tharp’s Come Fly Away features the music of Frank Sinatra and a 14-piece big band on stage.

Fly Away

Page 11: August 2011 Come Fly Away at the Fox Theatre

Atlanta’s Performing Arts Publication 9

T xxhey say you never forget your first love, and that appears to be true for Twyla Tharp’s Come Fly Away and the city of

Atlanta. The Frank Sinatra-themed musical, which premiered at Atlanta’s Alliance Theatre in September 2009, returns this summer to the Fabulous Fox Theatre, presented by Theater of the Stars.

In keeping with its 50-plus-year mission to produce and present the best of Broadway musicals, Theatre of the Stars brings back the hit Aug. 2-7. The show debuted on Broadway in March 2010, and closed in September that same year.

The story is infused with well-known classics by Ol’ Blue Eyes, “That’s Life” and “My Way,” for example, and takes place in a packed 1940s-style nightclub, where eight characters dance

in and out of love. The characters play off one another and explore themes such as romance, friendship, platonic negotiation, coy encounter, temptation and one-night-stand. It’s likely that anyone experiencing the show will relate to some, if not many, of the situations and emotions explored. The cast is joined onstage by a 14-piece big band.

Tharp is well-known internationally, nationally and in Atlanta — for performances of her award-winning

with Twyla Tharp and Ol’ Blue Eyes g

dance musical Movin’ Out, set to the music and lyrics of Billy Joel; and The Times Are A-Changing, featuring Bob Dylan’s poetic lyrics, her choreography and the Atlanta Ballet. Atlanta Ballet performed her In the Upper Room in its 2008-09 season, and plans to do the world premiere of Tharpe’s The Princess and the Goblin in this season.

Tharp and Sinatra are no strangers in the night. In 1976, she created a duet for herself and Mikhail Baryshnikov for American Ballet Theatre titled Once More Frank. She choreographed 1982’s Nine Sinatra Songs and, in 1984, Sinatra Suite. Sinatra asked that the latter be performed when he received his Kennedy Center Honors Award. Come Fly Away’s score combines classic and newly discovered vocal performances from the Sinatra archives, along with his signature classics.

The intermingling of singing, dancing, nightlife and live music pay tribute

to the man who was a radio, television and film performer, as well as a concert star, producer, director and all-around showman, who captured people’s hearts and imaginations for more than 60 years.

Come Fly Away is produced on tour by Nederlander Presentations, by special arrangement with the Frank Sinatra Family and Frank Sinatra Enterprises. It features scenic design by James Youmans, costume design by Katherine Roth, lighting design by Donald Holder and sound design by Peter McBoyle. Additional arrangements and orchestrations are by Dave Pierce and Don Sebesky. Music supervision is by Dave Pierce.

Come Fly Away dances circles around the Fox stage Aug. 2-7. Jeff Al-Mashat is a writer, speaker and fundraiser who has worked in Atlanta’s non-profit community for the past 17 years.

Atlanta’s Glenn Rainey returns in Guys and Dolls By Bret Love

Rainey grew up in Newnan and lives in Atlanta, where he’s built an impressive resume that includes work with the Atlanta Lyric Theatre, Alliance Theatre and Theater of the Stars. But he also has appeared in films such as Enchanted and The Shaggy Dog, and on Broadway in Disney’s Beauty and the Beast. We recently caught up with Rainey to talk about performing on the Great White Way, being recognized by his peers and why Guys and Dolls is such an enduring classic.

What was it about being onstage that compelled you to make acting a career?I knew early on that it stirred something within me. There was something about being able to be someone else onstage that I loved. I was a band nerd in high school, and though not necessarily

unpopular, I gained more acceptance when my peers saw me perform. I knew it would become a huge part of my life. 

Last year you earned two Suzi Bass Awards nominations for your work in Atlanta theater. What was it like being recognized for your work in two productions in the same year? I was so honored to receive the nominations for leading actor and featured actor in a musical, and to win for leading actor playing Edna in Hairspray at the Atlanta Lyric Theatre

dear patrons, subscribers and Friends:

Welcome to the fourth show of our 2011 season, Come Fly Away. this new Broadway musical brings together the legendary music of Frank sinatra and the creative vision of tony award-winner tywla tharp for a one-of-a kind experience. Combining the vocals of Frank sinatra with a live on stage band and adding the thrill of tharp’s choreography makes for a wonderful performance. sit back and enjoy as 14 dancers tell the story of four couples falling in and out of love. Come Fly Away features a host of

beloved sinatra classics including “Fly Me to the Moon,” “My Way,” “new York, new York” and “Witchcraft.”

thank you for your support of our not-for-profit theater company. We know that in these economic times people are very careful about where they spend their money. We greatly appreciate that you have decided to spend your money on seeing a theater of the stars production. We have two more shows in our season after Come Fly Away, and we are looking forward to them. up next is the classic romantic comedy with gamblers and girls, Guys and Dolls (aug. 16-21), and we conclude with our last produced show for the season, the popular favorite, Annie (Jan.14-22, 2012). We plan to cast many of the adult and youth roles for Annie with local actors — it will be a great production. We hope you are looking forward to the remainder of the season.

if you are not a subscriber or member of theater of the stars and would like to become one, there is still time to join our family for the 2011 season. there are several opportunities for participation, including the star Circle and production sponsorships. all include benefits that feature recognition and opportunities to get a closer look at how theater of the stars brings musical theater to life at the Fox. please contact us at 404-252-8960 to find out more about our programs.

thanks for being here and supporting us. We could not do it without you. enjoy the show!

etiqUette1. Arrive early. If you are late, you may be held out or reseated until an appropriate time for you to get to your assigned seat. People who arrive late disturb the performers on stage and audience members. It is best to arrive about 30 minutes early so that you have time to purchase concessions, find your seat, and read the program before the show starts. 2. Take care of personal needs (drinks of water or restroom) because you should not leave your seat until the intermission or until the performance ends.3. Please sit in the seat you are assigned so you do not cause confusion for other audience members.4. Please silence or turn off all electronic devices, including cell phones, beepers, and watch alarms. You’ll be embarrassed if it goes off in the middle of a tense moment of the show and it will break the mood for everyone. We encourage you to share your experience at the Fox via social media, but please refrain from doing so or texting during performances; the glow from your device is distracting.5. Most shows do not allow photography of any kind. Flash photography inside the theatre is never allowed as it is a distraction to those around you and a danger to the performers.6. The overture is part of the performance. Please cease talking at this point.7. The sound system for each show is provided by the touring production. Unfortunately, many variables exist that may occasionally hinder sound quality. Please let an usher know if you are having trouble hearing. Adjustments may be able to be made or an assisted listening device can be provided. 8. Dear Lovebirds, when you lean your heads together, you block the view of the people behind you. Please consider the people that will be seated behind you when choosing whether or not to wear a hat or what hair style you choose. 8. Please refrain from talking, humming, or singing along with the show, except when encouraged to do so by the artist or show. 9. Please wait for an appropriate moment to dig something out of your pocket or bag. 10. Go easy with the perfume and cologne, many people are highly allergic. 11. If you need assistance during the show, please go to your nearest volunteer usher. If additional assistance is needed the usher will get the appropriate person to further help you.12. Yes, the parking lot gets busy and public transportation is tricky, but leaving while the show is in progress or before the actors have taken their final bows is discourteous. Wait until it is over and then exit with the rest of the audience.13. Just be courteous and everyone will enjoy the show.

The Rolling Stones have performed at the Fox twice. In June 1978, the show was originally billed as “The Cockroaches” so as not to reveal the true performers before the concert announcement.

The Rolling Stones appeared next on October 26, 1981, for a standing-room only crowd. Before the show, the band had travelled to Savannah for a day trip and, due to dense fog in Atlanta, they were rerouted to Macon. The show was delayed by 90 minutes.

Bette Midler was scheduled to per-form for three nights in February 1983. According to concert promoter Alex Cooley, when she first arrived in her dressing room, Midler claimed that someone had died in that space and a ghost was present. She refused to perform. But after moving to another dressing room, she was con-tent enough to go on stage.

On New Year’s Day 2005, Broadway on Ice ice skating stars Nancy Kerrigan and Rudy Galindo, along with Broadway musical star Leslie Uggams, performed on the Fox stage. Creating the impromptu ice rink was an overnight process of repetitiously spraying water and freezing it.

was thrilling. Also, to have Harvey Fierstein [book writer and part of the original Broadway cast] attend a performance of A Catered Affair while he was in town with the Fiddler tour was overwhelming. As for the Suzi Awards, it’s always gratifying to be nominated for your work by your peers. Suzi Bass was a dear friend, and honoring her memory every year is so special to this community. 

I know you’ve performed on Broadway, which is every actor’s dream. What was it like making that leap from Atlanta theater to the Great White Way?I truly believe that we are on a predestined path, and that being on Broadway was just meant to be for me. But it certainly did not come without a lot of hard work, help from friends and colleagues and “paying dues.” I didn’t move to New York until I was 39 years old. Through a series of serendipitous circumstances, I eventually ended up on

Broadway. Making my Broadway debut at the Palace Theatre is something I hold dear and will never forget. Guys and Dolls is more than 60 years old. Why does it remain so popular?Frank Loesser, I believe, was a musical genius. He, along with his book collaborators, had the ability to write character-driven music that serves his musicals brilliantly and tells the story in

an essential and efficient way. Guys and Dolls is just forever a beloved classic. I can’t believe it’s my first time doing the show and playing Nicely. I’ve been singing “Sit Down You’re Rockin’ the Boat” for auditions since I was in my 20s. To finally sing it to audiences onstage is thrilling!How do you feel the Atlanta theater scene has evolved since you started out as a performer?It continues to grow by leaps and

bounds every year, and it’s filled with artistry and passion. I’m honored to be a member, and I cherish the relationships I’ve made. Thanks for giving me this opportunity to put it on record. And thank you, audience members, for continuing to support live theater. Enjoy the show!

Guys and Dolls flexes its musical muscles from Aug. 16-21 at the Fox Theatre. Bret Love is the founder of ecotourism/conservation site GreenGlobalTravel.com; the national managing editor of INsite magazine; and music editor for Georgia Music Magazine. He freelances for more than a dozen publications, and performs on numerous improv teams.

the 2nd annual tony awards Viewing party On June 12, Atlanta theater lovers donned their Sunday best and

flocked to the Fox Theatre for the 2nd Annual Tony Awards Viewing Party, co-hosted by Encore Atlanta magazine and the Fox Theatre. During the VIP pre-party, a silent auction raised more than $20,000 to benefit the Fox Theatre’s educational outreach programs and UNICEF’s Believe in Zero campaign. The live Tony Awards broadcast was hosted by Atlanta TV legend Bill Tush and Dave FM’s Mara Davis. Local performers provided additional entertainment. “What an incredible night — fantastic food, great entertainment and a successful silent auction,” said Encore Atlanta Publisher Sherry White, adding, “I’m so proud of the partnership we’ve forged with the Fox Theatre to raise much-needed funds for these two worthy charities.”
