Here's how the production is billed: "In this darkly comic rock-fable, a melancholy sandwich maker's (Chanler-Berat) hum-drum life is intersected by two entrancing sisters (Case and Murin). A sweeping ode to young love set against the backdrop of the northeast blackout of 1965, Fly By Night is a tale about making your way and discovering hope in a world beset by darkness."
Fly By Night features scenic design by David Korins, costume design by Paloma Young, lighting design by Jeff Croiter , sound design by Ken Travis and Alex Hawthorn and music direction by Vadim Feichtne. Kyle Gates is production stage manager, and Sam Pinkleton is choreographer.
The musical is the newest project by Hunter Bird, one of the creative minds behind the immersive Off-Broadway revival of The Phantom of the Opera, Masquerade.
