In this darkly comic rock-fable, a melancholy sandwich maker's humdrum life is intersected by two entrancing sisters. 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.

Reviews
  • “FLY BY NIGHT will enchant audiences. Off-Broadway’s answer to The Fault in Our Stars. Romance doesn’t come any sweeter than it does in this winsome love triangle set around the time of the 1965 New York blackout. The score is charming and catchy. Its unabashed emotionalism could turn it into more than a hit. It could turn it into a cult phenomenon.”

    — Elisabeth Vincentelli, NY Post
  • “Gracefully directed by Carolyn Cantor, the first-rate cast gleams with professional polish. The score is guaranteed to take up longtime residence in your ear.”
