Karine Plantadit Guests On CBS-TV News Weekend Morning Show 5/22

Karine Plantadit, nominated for a TONY Award, Astaire Award and Drama League Award for her starring role in "Come Fly Away", will be a guest on the CBS-TV News Weekend Morning Show this Saturday, May 22nd at 9 AM.

Ms. Plantadit, currently playing ‘Kate' in the Twyla Tharp musical on Broadway, has also appeared in the original casts of "The Lion King", "Movin' Out" and "Saturday Night Fever" as well as played Josephine Baker in the film "Frida."

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 crowded 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.

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.
