About Flyer, the Musical
Flyer is a sweeping and dramatic look into the conflicted lives of the Wright Brothers family. This award-winning show was initially presented at the Lamb’s Mainstage Theatre in NYC, followed by a week-long stay as part of North Carolina's NASA/Smithsonian 2003 Festival of Flight. The production was also presented in abridged concert form at Oklahoma City University in 2006, as part of their inaugural “Stripped” Musical Theatre Program.
2009 marks the 100th Anniversary of the Wright Brothers’ very first plane sold! 2009 also notes the Centennial of the renowned Paris Air Show, which figured greatly in Wilbur and Orville’s path to notoriety. However, the message of Flyer is timeless, as the story is as much about the complex influences that nurture or inhibit potential as it is about a child’s dream to fly.
