Come From Away on Tour
The true story of the small town that welcomed the world.
Broadway's COME FROM AWAY has won Best Musical all across North America!
The New York Times Critics' Pick takes you into the heart of the remarkable true story of 7,000 stranded passengers and the small town in Newfoundland that welcomed them. Cultures clashed and nerves ran high, but uneasiness turned into trust, music soared into the night, and gratitude grew into enduring friendships.
Don't miss this breathtaking new musical written by Tony® nominees Irene Sankoff and David Hein, and helmed by this year's Tony-winning Best Director, Christopher Ashley. Newsweek cheers, "It takes you to a place you never want to leave!"
On 9/11, the world stopped. On 9/12, their stories moved us all.
A great inside look at an event which changed the world for so many. The writers handled the subject with sensitivity and just the right dash of Newfie humour and humanity.
Great cast and the story is very well orchestrated. I was not disappointed!
The acting, story telling, and music were excellent. However, having lived in Newfoundland for over a decade, I found the lighting to be all wrong. No where in the province would one see the colours that were used on the set. The ambience created by the colours was a distraction to the story and the colours were not true to Newfoundland nor to the 9/11 context. Also, the trees at the side of the stage were not native to Gander, at least not in the past century after the tall pines and other species were all harvested for ship masts. The accents were not quite right but forgivable. Overall it was the disconnect between lighting and the story that grated. This is second time I have attended CFA (the first time was in Toronto) and this version was second best. However, it is worth seeing, and I would happily go again for a third time. Anyone who has not lived in Newfoundland probably would not notice.
Best show ever. Held my attention and was so exciting to see such a production about such a horrible historic event. I want to see it again. The staging was ingenious and the music was so lively and truly entertaining. I am such a promoter of everything Canadian so this was perfect. The talent was bang on and it was super to see people of every shape size and age. Bravo, bravo, bravo.
This is a great production. Simply the best performance I have seen on stage. Bravo
Amazing, amazing performance!!! The performers drew me into all of the emotions they were feeling and expressing on the stage. Will see it again!!
High energy. I could not have enjoyed it more. I laughed. I cried. I loved it! A serious story told well with humour touching the gravity of the situation.
This was such a beautiful & moving show. The cast was brilliant. The way they used the sets/props was brilliant. The music was beautiful. I laughed & I got teary. I'm so glad that Come From Away came to Ottawa! I hope it comes back because I know of so many people who weren't able to get tickets this time around. Thank you for this wonderful theatre experience.
I loved every minute of it. I didn't want it to end
From goosebumps to tears to laughter, a nonstop excellent experience. Who could imagine a musical about 911 could possibly work? It does!!!!!
With so few props, I wasn't sure what to expect with this show. Wow. The cast did any amazing job. The focus was on them and what they did with their limited props. I laughed out loud many times and almost shed tears at others. Excellent show. I highly recommended it.
Awesome! This show was just over the rop. The cast members were amazing and the entire show is just a must see by everyone! Great job!
I’m so glad I went to see this performance. Come from away was funny, sad and thoroughly entertaining. It made me proud to be a Canadian.
Very vibrant and energetic . Authentic NFLD experience!
Come from Away was excellent. It dealt with many emotional issues that arose frrom 9/11. There was pathos and humour. The cast, and music were topnotch. At the end there was a heartfelt standing ovation with tears.
The show was excellent and gave me a great sense of CANADIAN PRIDE, my only complainant was the acrostics of the NAC I found it difficult to hear all the speaking words ,the songs were ok. We were sat in boxes of the amphitheater, excellent view poor acoustics.
What a wonderful experience. We laughed, we cried. The energy was amazing and the talent inspiring. Bravo!
This was our second time seeing this show, this time in the balcony where it was difficult to hear every word. But still, I would go again. It's a great tribute to the welcoming atmosphere in Newfoundland and Canada no matter your ethnicity, gender, status (love the cardiac surgeons cleaning the bathrooms). After the show, a woman sitting beside us was nervous about walking back to her hotel, so we walked with her. Small acts of kindness flourish with the spirit of this show.
I have been to many musicals, this by far is in my top 3 favourite. The story steals the show, the raw talent, the emotion outstanding. You will walk out wishing you were a Newfoundlander and a PROUD Canadian
A thoroughly enjoyable experience. It had everything: humour, pathos, great music, talented cast, wonderful band. Loved how it included some of the real stories of the people affected. We did not want it to end. We all agreed we would see it again in a heartbeat. Don't miss it!
