See Above 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.”
