Come from Away

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.

COME FROM AWAY is a true story of the sleepy town, Gander in Newfoudland (a Canadian island). They get a big shake-up when told to accommodate up to seven thousand passengers stranded on 9/11 as all flights cease in US airspace. What occurs is the joy of humanity when the town opens it's heart and welcomes all in this uplifting musical full of hope.

The stunning 12 cast members take on all roles, telling stories from the view-points of the passengers and the town folks, all done in a simple but very creative way. It looked at all aspects of the human condition, from politics to religion, and everything else that makes this crazy world go round.

Took me a while to clinch onto the musical style, but once the characters had me, I was all in. An absolute heart warmer that shows what we are capable of in trying times...

We saw the show on Broadway twice - in back to back weeks. It may be the most relevant, important show you'll ever see. You'll laugh, you'll cry, you'll laugh some more and this show will give you hope for humanity in these dark times.

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!

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.
