COME FLY AWAY TO CONCLUDE ITS BROADWAY RUN ON SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 5, 2010 AFTER 26 PREVIEWS AND 187 REGULAR PERFORMANCES NATIONAL TOUR TO LAUNCH MAY 2011 IN CHICAGO The critically acclaimed Broadway musical COME FLY AWAY will conclude its Broadway run on Sunday, September 5 at the Marquis Theatre (1535 Broadway at 46th Street) after 26 previews and 187 regular performances. Conceived, choreographed, and directed by Tony Award-winner Twyla Tharp and featuring vocals by Frank Sinatra, COME FLY AWAY will launch a national tour in May, 2011 in Chicago. More details on this extensive, multi-city national tour will be announced at a later date. COME FLY AWAY, the new musical from visionary director/choreographer Twyla Tharp, follows four couples as they fall in and out of love during one song and dance filled evening at a swingin’ nightclub. Blending the legendary vocals of Frank Sinatra with a live on stage 19-piece big band and 15 of the world’s finest dancers, COME FLY AWAY weaves an unparalleled hit parade of classics, including “Fly Me To The Moon,” “My Way,” and “That’s Life” into a soaring musical fantasy of romance and seduction. Charles Isherwood of The New York Times calls COME FLY AWAY, “SPECTACULAR and DAZZLING! This is a MAJOR new work, with a stage full of BRILLIANT performers. Twyla Tharp’s ELECTRIFYING celebration of the music of Frank Sinatra will sweep you up in a complete spell.” Robert Johnson of The Star-Ledger calls the show “ONE OF THE MOST ELECTRIC PRODUCTIONS EVER TO LIGHT UP A BROADWAY MARQUEE” while Michael Kuchwara of the Associated Press calls the show, “ASTONISHING -- A love letter to romance, not to mention the man and his music, with eight MARVELOUS leads and an orchestra of STERLING musicians.” And Richard Zoglin of Time Magazine states simply, “COME FLY AWAY delivers the PUREST JOLT OF PLEASURE to be found on a Broadway stage.” The show’s score combines classic and newly discovered vocal performances from the Sinatra archives along with signature arrangements (Nelson Riddle, Billy May, Quincy Jones) as well as brand new charts for this fresh innovative musical.

| SEPTEMBER OF MY YEARS |
 CONCORD MUSIC GROUP REISSUES FRANK SINATRA’S POIGNANT 1965 REPRISE CLASSICSeptember of My Years set for release on August 31, 2010 Pre-Order Album Here LOS ANGELES, CA - (July 20, 2010) - Nearly a half-century after its initial release, Concord Records ushers in the bittersweet season of autumn with a digitally remastered version of Sinatra’s September of My Years. On license from Frank Sinatra Enterprises (FSE), the album is set for release on August 31, 2010. In the spring of 1965, Sinatra huddled with his arranger and friend, Gordon Jenkins, to record September of My Years, a collection of 13 songs from an iconic balladeer taking stock in a life well lived and recommitting himself to making the best of the years ahead. It was an album that spawned such classics as “This Is All I Ask,” “Once Upon a Time” and of course, “It Was a Very Good Year.” Four Grammys and 45 years later, the 1965 album is considered one of the finest recordings of his career. In addition to the 13 songs from the original recording, the reissue also features two bonus tracks – a live version of “This Is All I Ask” and an alternate version of “How Old Am I?,” which was released as a single in 1968. The packaging also includes extensive new liner notes, an engaging mix of first-hand historical record and personal reflections penned by music journalist Stan Cornyn, who won a Grammy AwardÒ for his liner notes to the original recording. In the decades since the original release of September of My Years, an entire generation has come of age and is now making its own peace with the insidious nature of time. Sinatra’s songs speak as much to them as they do to listeners of a previous era. “There’s something about him and his voice that resonates with people, and it continues to move people throughout the years and the generations” says reissue producer Charles Pignone. “I don’t know what that X factor is. It’s something that means different things to different people. It’s probably better that nobody knows what it is. It’s a great honor to Frank Sinatra that we still talk about this music so many years after it was recorded. We see how quickly things change in this world, and yet he’s still relevant. People still want to hear Frank Sinatra.” TRACK LIST September of My Years How Old Am I?
