Come from Away

This musical made my heart so happy! I cried, I laughed! The talent, the staging, the acting everything is amazing in this musical and it works!!!!! I love it so much! It has such a beautiful message about humanity and hope!

What a joyous film from start to finish. The tone of the story was well done. The musical numbers are great and the songs are catchy. As a Canadian I even loved it more. One of the best musicals.

Full of heart, it's just pure joy watching this show. The Newfie music has your foot tapping then you get chocked up by beautiful character moments. This show deserves every accolade you've heard.

This musical is a very heartwarming musical. No seconds were wasted while watching this. Even with the limited screentime of all the characters, their arc were well written.

Perhaps the most interesting thing about this play (aside from its Cinderella backstory, rags to riches) is the way it keeps transforming itself while you watch. At first, the viewer is actually shocked that such a horrific piece of history can suddenly become ENTERTAINING and INSPIRING. Then the subtext in the script about race, gender, community catch your eye, all at once. Soon you are wondering silently to yourself if there really is a place like Gander (yes) and if all Canadians are like that (many are, but not all). Then, before you have a chance to get bored, the gritty narrative, the backstory, pops up and grabs your attention; and wherever you are, whatever you are doing, you give a silent thanks for being able to watch history without actually BEING history. And then it is over. Cue the well deserved applause. ((Designated "IMDb Top Reviewer."
