Come From Away Reviews

The musical’s regional flair is still intact, with references to Tim Hortons, Roger’s Communication, and drinking Pepsis (I just wished they mentioned milk in a bag and ketchup chips). Yes, Canadian hospitality is a real thing.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Oct 9, 2022

The show doesnt have a plot so much as a mixture of character beats. Here, that doesnt just workit has a powerful effect.

| Original Score: 4/4 | Mar 13, 2022

Not only is Come From Away relevant in a political sense, but its heart and comforting emotion expressing that no matter how bad things get we will get through it feels perfect for the modern moment.

An inspiring musical about the transformative power of hospitality and kindness.

"Come From Away" is a salve for those worrying if we have lost our sense of compassion.

A filmed version of the celebrated Broadway musical.

| Original Score: 8/10 | Sep 20, 2021

"Come From Away" is a warm salute to the kindness and generosity of these stalwart, selfless Canadians.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Sep 18, 2021

... it is perhaps the most essential, consequential piece of art to result from the most tragic day in American history ...

| Original Score: 4/4 | Sep 17, 2021

While some of the songs are a bit hockey and the performances can get very hammy, the musical's heart always remains in the right, crowd-pleasing place.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Sep 17, 2021

All drama asks you to suspend disbelief, but "Come From Away" asks you also to suspend cynicism, aiming to move and uplift you. It's not a bad bargain, and "Come From Away" holds up its end.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Sep 17, 2021

Briskly paced, it's also an important depiction of how disparate people can connect meaningfully, peppering scenes with observations that burst with multifaceted thoughts and feelings.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Sep 16, 2021

Doesn't plumb the depths of the post-9/11 experience, but its blend of poignancy and feel-good uplift, appealing to both the heart and the funnybone, is, from a purely theatrical perspective, a winning formula.

| Original Score: B | Sep 16, 2021

Expect woe and warmth in equal measure, drawn out by a marvelous cast.

| Sep 16, 2021

We honor what was lost - but we also commemorate what we found.

| Original Score: 10/10 | Sep 13, 2021

For all that works, the show's warmth and calls for welcoming compassion ultimately cannot quite ring true.
