Fly Me Away: An Original Jazz Musical

The Museum of Chinese in America (MOCA) collaborated with emerging musician and artist Miguel Sutedjo, FCRH ’23, for his original jazz musical, Fly Me Away, made possible through MOCA’s Creative Space Grant initiative.

Fly Me Away follows teenage jazz pianist Frank and his father as they move from Shanghai to New York City in pursuit of a better life. Despite his father’s dissuasion, Frank immerses himself in the NYC jazz scene; meanwhile, his father loses his corporate job and finds work in a Chinatown dumpling shop. As life grows more difficult for Frank and his father, they realize just what it takes to succeed in America and fly away to their dreams.
