excellent
we saw this show in NYC last summer and were amazed at the whole production and cast! Its a wonderful heart lifting story of Canadian east coast culture and how resilient they can be during a sudden crisis.. was very proud of being Canadian . You will laugh ,and cry during many touching moments. One cast plays both the passengers AND the Newfoundlanders. Impressive.
Perfect title
It was a superb play it catured the story line in a comical and accurate account we would take our teens or adult children to itour newfoundland friends from faraway will love it
One of the best shows!
Honestly, one of the best theatrical performances I've seen. There was laughter and tears. With very few on stage props, a poignant story was told illustrating every perspective from the pilot to the passengers to the great group of Newfoundlanders. It is a must see performance!
Learn to be a Newfie
Come From Away is theatre at its best. From the self-deprecating quips, to the first wary sips of screech, to the daring kissing-of-the-cod, you, who "come-from-away," are invited to peek into the world of Gander, NL. Jayzus, Mary, and Joseph, isn't Canada proud of the people on the Rock? Humour (love the griddles' scene) is brilliantly laced with sympathy. You may not catch every word? That's okay, you catch enough of Newfinese to appreciate the grandness and grace in small-town simplicity: Once upon a time, Canadians responded to an American tragedy with action, generosity, and compassion. Wonderful score and performance.
Brilliant!
Riveting from beginning to end. The audience roared with a well-deserved standing ovation. This might be my favorite musical ever.
Moving, funny, extraordinary
This production is nothing short of amazing. The cast is on stage for 140 minutes without intermission and play both the passengers and the Newfoundlers, assisted by clever lighting and simple but effective stage props. The cast is talented, the music entertaining, and true story of human kindness and generosity moving. The light of the people of Gander in the midst of the darkest time in US history brings a sense of hope and a reminder that the world is a better place when we help another in need.
