VIDEO: Here's the new ad for Come Fly Away. Dancer and actor unions are presently warring over who should administer the show. The dancers union says the show, which features the recorded vocals of Frank Sinatra, has "no narrative thread," meaning it is strictly a dance show and therefore under their purview.
