overview
Set in the 1950’s, Flying Over Sunset is a work of fiction inspired by the lives of three extraordinary and accomplished people—writer Aldous Huxley; playwright, diplomat, and congresswoman, Clare Boothe Luce; and film legend Cary Grant—each of whom in real life experimented with the drug LSD. At a crossroads in their lives the three come together, and under the influence of the drug, take a trip and confront the mysteries of their lives and their world. Lincoln Center Theater produces the new musical, directed by Lapine, featuring choreography by Michelle Dorrance. Carmen Cusack, Harry Hadden-Paton and Tony Yazbeck will head the cast.
