Publisher's Summary:

Twyla Tharp created and choreographed the new Broadway show, Come Fly Away, set entirely to the music of Frank Sinatra. She tells Kurt how she dismissed conventional dialogue, instead creating a narrative driven exclusively by the dancers' movement.

Next, ABC's Lost ends its phenomenally successful six-year run this week. Studio 360's Scott Blaszak isn't happy about it. He wrote a ballad to help express his pain.

Then, in his book, The Age of Wonder, Richard Holmes describes the major breakthroughs in astronomy, anthropology, and physics in late 18th and early 19th century Britain. Holmes calls the era an "age of romantic science" - when the poets and scientists inspired each other's work.

Finally, is it possible for someone to learn to sing online? We sent reporter Sarah Lemanczyk to the Berklee School of Music's virtual course to see whether the pop music training could spin gold out of Sarah's straw-like voice. [Broadcast Date: May 22, 2010]
