Come from Away is a show that truely left me speechless. It was a show that needed time to be processed, a story that should be reflected upon, revisited and never forgotten. A true story of communication, of strength, of heartbreak communicated in an impactful and thought provoking way.

​

I felt so many emotions watching this performance. Those of sadness, frustration, anger and yet alongside those feelings also those of community, hopefulness and celebration. A beautiful tribute to an island that gave everything to help those in a terrifying moment of history.

The scenic design for this piece by Beowulf Boritt was simplistic, which I think was a brilliant choice as it allowed the story to speak for itself while still complimenting and elevating the performance. The band coming onto the stage and becoming a part of the ensemble really excited me as these brilliant musicians remain predominantly unseen within musical theatre so incorporating them into the piece was a great idea and the stage design worked really well to bring the cast and the musicians together allowing them to have this connection.
