Maltby & Shire
Maltby and Shire's latest Broadway musical, in its World Premiere before its New York season.
Ordinary people with dreams can change the world. Take Flight is about the spirit of invention in us all, the obscure as well as the famous, and that it is just as noble in those who fail as in those who succeed. It is about flying, about the invention of the airplane, about creativity, and about the human need to take risks.
The stories of famous flyers such as the Wright Brothers, Charles Lindbergh and Amelia Earhart, as well as some less-than-famous people, are interwoven in this musical celebration of the human spirit.
This special concert version of Take Flight is a once in a lifetime experience.
Directed by Richard Maltby Jr. Musical supervision by David Shire. Featuring a constellation of Australian music theatre stars, Accompanied by the 20-strong Adelaide Art Orchestra and a 10-voice chorus.
Lyrics by Richard Maltby Jr. Music by David Shire.
