Book and Lyrics by John Kane
Flying High is the story of a wildly successful but unhappy pop star and a band just starting out, and how they both seek fulfillment in the unscrupulous world of the music industry.
Flying High will be performed at the following dates and times:
1. Saturday, March 24 at 3:00pm
2. Saturday, March 24 at 7:00pm
3. Sunday, March 25 at 1:00pm
4. Sunday, March 25 at 5:00pm
5. Saturday, March 31 at 3:00pm
6. Saturday, March 31 at 7:00pm
7. Sunday, April 1 at 1:00pm

Featuring entertaining lyrics set to singable music in a variety of styles, Flying High is presented by an inter-generational cast in English with side titles. This production comprises two 40-minute acts (plus intermission) and will appeal to audiences of all ages.
The composer and librettist of Flying High also wrote Antiphony (performed by NCFO in 2002 and 2006), and those of you familiar with that work will recall how memorable Graham's tunes are and how clever John's lyrics are.
A synopsis with samples of the music can be found here:

The cast of more than 135 chorus members and soloists are drawn from many Greater Boston communities and range in age from 7 to 85. They are divided into two casts, and both are
excellent.
Contributing to this production are David Bass (music director), Dave Cash, Kathy Lindsay, and David Sandberg (stage direction), and Corinne Mason, Susan Fendell, and Rachel Zimmerman (choreography). Set design is by Peter Watson of Peter Watson Stage Design, and the lighting design is by David Silber. The show is produced by Carla Procaskey.
