Frank Sinatra Adds Broadway Musical, Lottery Ticket

Rhino Entertainment and Frank Sinatra Enterprises have scored a new Broadway musical "Come Fly Away," to be directed by Tony award winner Twyla Tharp, as well as a N.J. lottery instant ticket game.

"Come Fly Away" from Tharp ("Movin' Out") and featuring vocals by Sinatra, will open this spring at the Marquis Theater on Broadway. The show will include a live on-stage 19-piece big band and Sinatra hits such as "Fly Me to the Moon," "My Way" and "That's Life." Previews begin on March 1 with opening night slated for March 25. Casting will be announced soon. The musical had its world premiere this fall at Atlanta's Alliance Theater.

In addition, Sinatra has begun appearing on a $2 instant ticket game from the New Jersey Lottery. The game, featuring instant win prizes of up to $30,000, is available at more than 6,000 retailers throughout the state. Non-winning tickets can be entered to win Sinatra movies, music and books, as well as a VIP weekend at Borgata Atlantic City. The Hoboken native is featured in classic poses throughout his career on each ticket.
