"...Come from Away, is... an exceptional musical about the power of human kindness and the story of compassionate people coming together to help each other out. The national tour of this Tony Award winning show is in town for a week-long run with a powerhouse cast and a stellar band, making for an emotional, cathartic, and joyous celebration of life....tells the true story of the 38 airplanes that were diverted on 9/11 to the small town of Gander, Newfoundland, when the United States airspace was closed and the close to 7,000 passengers on those planes had nowhere to go. The Gander residents quickly mobilize to house, feed, and care for the grounded passengers...the driving theme of kindness and hope that is weaved throughout the story that brings light to the darker moments. Come from Away also proves that the combination of a true story that depicts how even the worst of times can bring out the best in people, that beauty can come from tragedy, the power of live theatre can create a cathartic, shared experience."   -Gil Benbrook, Talkin' Broadway (click here to read the complete review)
