About the Show

A story of kindness in the face of tragedy, Come From Away is the true story of a small Newfoundland town that welcomed 7,000 stranded travelers after 9/11. As fear and uncertainty gripped the world, the people of Gander opened their hearts, forging unexpected friendships and proving that even in the darkest times, compassion can shine through. With a soaring score and unforgettable storytelling, this Tony Award-winning musical is a deeply moving and unexpectedly joyful celebration of human connection, resilience, and the extraordinary power of generosity.

Reviews

"This could easily have been a dutiful inspirational musical, a sepia-toned tribute to human decency with all the dramatic tension of a Hallmark movie. Instead, COME FROM AWAY is smarter, funnier, and more moving than anyone had a right to expect."
David Appleford, Broadway World
“The responsibility brought out the best in the residents and the artful TPTC production, smashingly staged by Michael Barnard and performed by a remarkable ensemble of superb performers, equals Broadway’s original staging.”
Chris Curcio, Curtain Up Phoenix
“Michael Barnard's direction, Nathaniel Shaw's choreography and the creative elements feel like a loving homage to the original Broadway production, from the fluid transitions to the purposeful simplicity of Robert Kovach's set which uses a series of chairs and tables that are quickly rearranged to depict the dozens of settings in the show, while also finding fresh moments that add depth and clarity."
Gil Benbrook, Talkin' Broadway
“The true marvel, though, is The Phoenix Theatre Company ensemble. They operate as a genuine unit, slipping into roles like second skins and achieving something rare: you feel the souls of both the “plane people” and the locals not as types, but as fleeting, fully imagined presences.”
David Appleford, Broadway World
“Barnard’s throbbing production captures the range of emotions and reactions of this collection of humanity. The show moves along swiftly so that the 100-minute running time breezes by as it enraptures the audience as they almost become event participants.”
Chris Curcio, Curtain Up Phoenix
“Twelve actors play dozens of characters, switching roles with the precision of a street magician and the warmth of a regular at the local pub. They don’t grandstand; they share.”
David Appleford, Broadway World
“There’s no saint-making here, just plainspoken moments of revelation delivered with a bracing honesty. To single out one performer without mentioning another would be a disservice[.]”
David Appleford, Broadway World
“D. Scott Withers anchors the show as the mayor of Gander, a narrator of sorts who embodies quiet leadership and compassion, while, like the rest of the cast, he shifts into other roles with sharp distinction.”
Gil Benbrook, Talkin' Broadway
“Trisha Ditsworth is great as the no-nonsense head of the local animal shelter, while Rusty Ferracane and Sally Jo Bannow play Nick and Diane, two strangers who meet in Gander; their unexpected connection becomes one of the show's most touching storylines.”
Gil Benbrook, Talkin' Broadway
“Maria Amorocho beautifully brings to life Beulah, the woman coordinating accommodations for a large group of passengers. She has a firefighter son, which makes her connection with Hannah, a woman from New York whose firefighter son hasn't been heard from, especially powerful. Chanel Bragg's portrayal of Hannah is especially moving.”
Gil Benbrook, Talkin' Broadway
“Amy Jo Halliday brings a lovely sense of power and warmth as Beverley Bass, the American Airlines pilot whose journey grounds the audience in the fear and responsibility felt by those in the air that day.”
Gil Benbrook, Talkin' Broadway
“Caleb Reese and Levin Valayil portray two men who are both named Kevin, a gay couple who find themselves at a crossroads after their experience in Gander; Valayil also plays a Muslim man who faces a painful experience, while Reese's portrayal of the speech President Bush gave shortly after the terrorist attacks is quite moving.”
Gil Benbrook, Talkin' Broadway
“Matravius Avent is quite memorable as an African American who is suspicious of the Gander residents, and EJ Dohring is excellent as an assortment of various other characters, including Oz, the quirky Gander policeman.”
Gil Benbrook, Talkin' Broadway
“As Janice, the local news reporter who is finding her first day on the job not at all what she thought it would be, Caelan Creaser effectively shows the confusion and warmth that many locals felt that day.”
Gil Benbrook, Talkin' Broadway
“Director Michael Barnard keeps everything buoyant and clear, the staging fluid, unfussy, and quietly assured. His direction and Nathaniel Shaw’s choreography are so closely intertwined that the line between them all but disappears.”
David Appleford, Broadway World
“Each cast member demonstrates impressive versatility, moving effortlessly between accents, ages, and emotional states; Kade McCloud's dialect coaching is impressive. Their collective work creates a true ensemble experience, where no single performance overshadows the others and the storytelling, and the uniqueness of each of the characters, remains front and center.”
Gil Benbrook, Talkin' Broadway
“With minimal yet effective physical scenery by Robert Kovach, reminiscent of Broadway’s original design, and lighting by Keith A. Traux doing much of the heavy lifting, a mostly bare stage transforms effortlessly into planes, shelters, bars, and churches through a shift of light, the move of a table, or the swivel of a chair.”
David Appleford, Broadway World
“In this perplexing time when people seem unable to coexist with different views, Gander’s residents and the passengers they take in suggest divergent people can get it together. Add a masterful TPTC staging and “Come From Away” produces outstanding theater.”
Chris Curcio, Curtain Up Phoenix
“Somewhere in the rhythm and generosity of this exceptionally accomplished The Phoenix Theatre Company production, COME FROM AWAY reminds you what theater can do. It doesn’t just show us who we are. It shows how deeply, stubbornly, and improbably connected we remain.”
David Appleford, Broadway World
“Seeing Come from Away at Phoenix Theatre will most likely leave you with a renewed sense of hope. It is a powerful reminder of what people are capable of when compassion leads the way, and it stands as an affecting, beautifully realized tribute to humanity at its best.”
