I've spent the last hour looking for a rubber or plastic Atlantic cod prop. No joy. Very disappointed. If I wanted a Bass or a Salmon, I'd be laughing. But can I find a realistic COD?!?? Nope! #comefromaway #amdram #theatre 😞

Oh my goodness. #ComeFromAway is coming to #ANoiseWithin in October. And A Noise Within Theatre is on my drive home many days a week. How many times am I going to let myself go? Will I cry less the more times I see the show? I doubt it. But I'm gonna laugh at the "gathering BBQ grills" part every.single.time.

Just back from watching “Come From Away” at the Minack Theatre (Redruth Amateur Operatic Society). They smashed it out of the park. An incredible story of people pulling together in the wake of 9/11 in Gander, Newfoundland when their tiny airport took 38 aircraft and 7,000 people for several days. I found it both powerful and moving - and not without levity either. Well balanced, well acted, superbly sung. Managed to keep a lid on my own emotional reaction (which at points wasn’t a given). 11/10, can’t recommend, because the run ended tonight.

I thought Come From Away is a good reminder on who we are in Canada, and why we are Canadian! 🍁

I just watched #ComeFromAway a Broadway musical about the 7000 airline passengers stranded on Gander, Newfoundland after 9/11. It’s on Apple TV+. I think I cried the whole way through.

This is my favorite song from the show "Come From Away", which says a lot because I pretty much love the entire show. But from the first time I heard this song, about American pilot Beverley Bass, it had me hooked, especially with all the joy exuding from the story being told. #ComeFromAway #MeAndTheSky
And in a show where I pretty much cry through half the show, the last part of this song just destroys me, where I have to try really hard not to just sob out loud.

Last night, for Valentine's Day, I showed my wife "Come from Away" which is now on Apple TV Plus. It's a musical that shows how the people of Gander, Newfoundland welcomed strangers from all over the world into their communities and homes after 9/11. It obviously touches on some dark themes, but overall it's a fun uplifting story. I definitely recommend it! #comefromaway #appletvplus

As Canada and the U.S. enter a trade war after spending decades as friends, neighbours and allies … I want to tell a story about Canadians helping our neighbours to the South.
Years ago I was asked to go to a Canadian college to see a workshop for a musical about 9/11.
I scoffed. A musical about what? How will that work?
I drove out to the campus during a brutal winter snowstorm. I remember cursing that I was having to deal with a late night white knuckle drive for a musical that made absolutely no sense. Who would want to listen to people sing about that unspeakable tragedy?
I should have had more faith. The writers - an incredible Canadian duo called David Hein & Irene Sankoff - made magic at Sheridan College. Their musical wasn’t really about 9/11, it was about the community of Gander, Newfoundland that welcomed stranded planes on that dark day
It was about the Canadian spirit of opening our hearts and homes to those in need… no matter where they come from, what colour, religion, gender or nationality they are. It was about overcoming odds and helping strangers for no other reason than it was the right thing to do
38 planes carrying 6,579 passengers were diverted to Gander on 9/11. To put things in perspective, Gander is a tiny community of less than 10,000 people. They literally doubled in size overnight.
They could have left the people on the planes. They could have refused them and said it was America’s problem. They could have deflected and blamed as is so popular with the current leader of the U.S. They chose to open their arms and welcome everyone.
The community got together and found ways to feed, clothe and house every passenger and animal that were on those planes They put people up in schools and gymnasiums, guest rooms in their homes and more They turned the hockey rink into a giant walk in fridge for all the food
They rounded up bbqs from everyone’s backyard to have big cookouts for all the new guests. Provided every denomination with a place to pray. Made sure that kids had diapers, toys and a feeling of safety. Comforted animals who weren’t allowed off the planes. They stepped up.
For four days, no one from Gander slept or took a break. They were constantly on the go to ensure that every one of their new arrivals felt safe, protected and welcomed. That’s what the musical was about. The camaraderie and love shown during that unprecedented time
Its name? Come from Away.
It would go on to be a Tony Award winning Broadway musical with successful productions all over the Globe. Its message of kindness, inclusion and hope inspired people to be more welcoming of those who are different than them
It was one of the greatest honours of my life to be one of the first journalists to write about that extraordinary musical. To be able to meet many of the people from Gander and from the planes who allowed their stories to be told.
I’ve always loved being a Canadian, but sitting in that small theatre on a snowy winters night … I was overwhelmed with pride & hope for our future The people of Gander showed us what it truly means to be a neighbour, and we need to hold onto that spirit in these dark times
I don’t know what comes next, but I know Canadians will rise to the challenge. We will continue to extend a hand in friendship to our American neighbours. We know most of you don’t want this either. We will stand proud and remain true to our values always. We will overcome
If you want to watch it, the Broadway production was filmed for streaming on AppleTV and it’s beautifully done. “Tonight we honour what was lost, but we also commemorate what we found.”

I finally got to enjoy my birthday present from my parents tonight - 10 months late, but well worth the wait! I saw the musical #ComeFromAway.
It had me in tears it was so good…which has never ever happened at the theatre before. As a diverted passenger to Halifax, Nova Scotia it was so clear it was written from first hand accounts with such an ear for the quirky little things that happened over those strange days when the world turned upside down. I felt seen in a way I’ve never felt before

March 13th, 2020, my wife and I were in Toronto having lunch downtown. The next day we had tickets for #ComeFromAway but feeling nervous about crowds and potential #COVID infection. Before we finished lunch we got notification that the show was canceled. Whew...
Fast forward to today - we're on the GO Train heading downtown to a 2pm show. Only took 4 1/2 years to use our credit.
BTW - GO Train is $1.97 for seniors, from Brampton to Union, with a 10 minute walk to the theatre. Bargain -
Good Morning #Canada
If you were to create a list of Canadian focused 9/11 stories, the hosting of 5,000+ stranded passengers in Newfoundland and Labrador would be #1. This incredible tale of organization and compassion started when 238 planes were grounded in Canada, and Gander, with its vast runways, took in 38. But unknown by most is that a decade of disaster preparedness planning allowed Newfoundlanders to make it look easy.#CanadaIsAwesome #ComeFromAway

My family saw the touring show of the musical Come From Away. It was wonderful.
If it comes through your area, definitely take the time to go see it. It's beautiful and the encore was awesome.

After #ComeFromAway last night, I found a 2018 CBC Newfoundland and Labrador documentary showing the production going to Gander before the Broadway premiere, which some Gander residents got to see. Very touching

We watched the #ComeFromAway musical on Apple+ with our kids tonight. It was excellent. Highly recommended.

#Cdnpoli #Uspoli #Canada #Newfoundland #ComeFromAway
An estimated 30,000 to 40,000 Newfoundland women married American servicemen during the time of Ernest Harmon Air Force Base from 1941 to 1966.
Prior to WW2 Nfld had fallen on hard times, dire poverty & hunger was pervasive with little hope in sight .
That all changed when the American military came,as well paying jobs were provided & American service men treated us well .That is the America we remember, our 1st come from away

#TheRoyalWe book y'all, it's like my favorite book everMy stream of consciousness is fading and also I've been typing this for 2 hours and my wife is asking me why I ignored the timer that went off 15 minutes ago that I set because I wanted to not spend more than another 15 minutes on this 30 minutes ago. So, uh, bye?

Scar tava perfeito, o solo do Simba quase me fez chorar e o solo na Nala me arrepiou

Eu to apaixonada por esse musical
Tenho um fraco por folk então foi tão gostoso ficar só ouvindo a melodia das músicas
E cara
Fé restaurada um pouquinho na humanidade depois dessa história
