Description

Upon seeing a performance of Come Fly With Me (2009), Steve Wynn approached Tharp about bringing the show to his theater in Las Vegas. Sinatra: Dance With Me is a streamlined version, combining elements from both the Atlanta and Broadway productions into a single act. After the Las Vegas premiere, Tharp added three new tracks and extended the finale.

 

The Royal Danish Ballet commissioned Tharp to create a new version of this show for their 2013 season. The evening-length ballet combines songs and choreography from Broadway and Las Vegas. The technical elements were revised to better suit the resources of a ballet company and costumes were redesigned by Norma Kamali.
