    Come From Away is one of the best shows I've seen on Broadway. The show is amazing! 90 minutes of pure entertainment. It's a musical about the 911 flights that had to land in Newfoundland. It hits all the emotions in a short time. I found myself laughing, falling in love with the characters and even felt a tear here and there. There's no intermission, so before you know it the shows over. I paid full price through American Express but when my husband came to join me a week later, we were able to get tickets at the TKS booth in Times Square for $75 a piece ( which was more than half off what I paid the first time!) and for both shows I was able to sit center orchestra 6 rows back. Totally enjoyable both times. The music was great and the actors were even better. I highly recommend this show. If you're in NYC between 1/18 - 2/13/22 check out NYC Broadway Week -they're offering 2 for 1 tickets on some great shows and this is one of them.

    So after the 9/11 Attack the US Airspace was immediately closed. And airplanes already in the air were instructed to land at the nearest airports. About 38 planes and a total of 6,000 passengers from all over the world landed in a small airport called Gander, Newfoundland in Canada. Gander is this tiny town in Canada so the locals there had to quickly figure out how to accommodate all these people. Come From Away tells such a warm - hearted and inspiring story about how the folks in Gander welcomed these travelers into their homes for about 4 days. It's such an emotional yet powerful play about humans helping humans from all over the world . Our lives gets interrupted, but at some point we must continue living no matter how tough things get. Highly recommend going to see this show when in NYC if you are a history kinda person. Had a great time blogging on Friday, January 14, 2022 at 7PM EST. I'd sat in Row J - Seat 116. FYI, no matter where you sit in the theater you'll have an incredible view of the stage. This play was about 100 minutes with no intermission.

    This show was sooooo good! The cast was amazing in how they played multiple roles of islanders or plane people. The power of their voices throughout the musical was strong. The band was great too, appreciated their "screech off" at the end. We got tickets from the TKTS booth and ended up 5 rows from the stage just a bit to the right. Great seats, we missed nothing. The set was well done and how the cast used the different chairs and arrangements was cool. I'd highly recommend this show on Broadway (before it ends on October 2nd!) or if it comes to a theater near you. We knew the premise a bit but were blown away and Come From Away exceeded all expectations. I've been listening to the soundtrack ever since (& a lot of the cast is the same).

    Easily in my top five favorite Broadway shows I've ever seen! I came in to the show with absolutely zero knowledge of the background of the plot. This is an interesting story regarding a small town (Gander, Newfoundland) during September 11, 2001. There's only a dozen actors, but each one plays several different roles perfectly. I was amazed at how well they could make you feel many emotions. You will laugh, smile, and cry all throughout this perfect performance! The orchestra is also solid. They do a good job of bringing the energy to the show. Overall, I was so impressed at how amazing this show was. Even sitting in the mezzanine, do you have a great view of the stage that is unobstructed. The theater itself is extremely beautiful and well-built. Acoustically it really helps make the show come to life. Go to the show. Do not skip this if you have the opportunity. You will absolutely not regret it, and you will experience one of the best performances of your life!

    Seen CFA on Christmas day and it was definitely a great way to spend the holiday. It wasn't the best show I've seen or even 1 of my favorites but I highly enjoyed it. The music and cast was amazing. There weren't many shows playing Christmas day and the ones that were playing I've seen except this 1 so I purchased tickets. I sat orchestra left and had a great view of the stage. The show is 1 hour and 40 minutes long with no intermission and went by pretty quickly. I bought a drink, some snacks, and had a great time. It was a great Christmas.

    Five stars for sure!!! Such an enjoyable and delightful performance. Very moving and powerful! If you are visiting NYC, try to pair it with the 911 memorial museum and one world trade observatory in the same day. You will get a full sense and journey of the day 911. There are very limited cast that perform multiple characters. But they are all standout and very all rounded. Scenes are simple but to the point. Applaud to whoever setup the scenes!!

    What a performance. If you have any time at all, go see this show. The premise: when 9/11 happened, incoming flights to the US were diverted to Canada, to clear US airspace ASAP. Some flights landed in Gander, Newfoundland. A small town of less than 10,000 people suddenly had to accommodate an influx of 7000 passengers. - For more info, google "Operation Yellow Ribbon" - 12 cast members, 6 band members, no orchestra - 1hr40min, no intermission - The cast had to switch between multiple characters throughout the show and I loved how the accents switched too - What's different to other shows is that as the characters speak, the music continues in the background. At first it made hearing the dialogue a bit difficult. - Since it deals with quite heavy subject matter, there were bits of humor sprinkled here and there - At one point a woman was openly weeping behind me - Some band members joined the cast onstage during a couple of songs. That was fun to see. - Standing ovation at the end - After the cast took their bow, the whole band came out and jammed together for about 10 minutes. The audience was on their feet and it was a fantastic way to end the show. You hear about 9/11 a lot. The people who lost their lives. The family/friends related to those people. But what you don't hear as often is about those whose lives were impacted outside of that particular group. These Canadians from a small town offered everything they could to help. This incident had nothing to do with them. Yet they still created a safe haven for those who were momentary displaced. Faith in humanity restored indeed.

    This is absolutely my favorite broadway show. I saw it for the first time in 2019 when I visited the city and I saw it another 3 times after I moved here and Broadway opened again post covid. The story and the characters and music are so beautiful. (I also read the book which wasn't told quite as well but still nice to read). I'm always so impressed how the characters seamlessly transition between characters, costumes, and accent while almost always being on the stage. There's such a good balance between heart wrenching real life stories and also humor. I went to the show for the closing weekend in October and got to meet Jen Colella (original cast pilot), Beverly Bass (actual pilot), and several others. I sobbed during the entire show and sobbed when I got to meet them. I was so so sad that the show closed but will have to settle for watching it on Apple TV!

    Neat set with the trees.

    Such a delightful show about such a dark subject. The artists do a really nice job of telling several stories with a common theme and making them make sense. The kids were fascinated that the actors all played so many different roles. It was amazing how the turn of a phrase and voice mixed with a hat helped turn the actors into different people. The band on stage was a rare treat. They really did a nice job of being part of the show. At our show, they even stayed for an extra craic for the audience. Amazing. I had listened to the soundtrack but it was cool to see the staging and how they wove together all the stories.

This was my wife's first Broadway experience, which made the night even more memorable. We arrived about an hour before showtime, explored the theater, browsed merchandise, and soaked in the atmosphere. The venue itself was stunning and added to the overall magic of the experience. One detail I really appreciated was the ability to order popcorn and butterbeer directly through our phones, making intermission smooth and convenient. The true standout, though, was the special effects. They were absolutely incredible and brought the Wizarding World to life in ways I wasn't expecting. There were multiple moments that left the audience in awe. Tom Felton was also fantastic and added an extra layer of excitement for longtime fans. From buying tickets online to the final curtain call, the entire experience felt seamless.

Everybody did such a great job and I really loved Scorpius's character. Of course Tom Felton was there as the original Draco Malfoy, which is the entire reason that we came. If you want to during the play, you can order food to your seat which I thought was cool. The rest of the snacks were good for what they were. We booked through AAA and got a snack bag with popcorn water and a cursed child cup filled with Gummies. Everything was really good. If I could change one thing and I know this is like, "come on" but the seats were kind of uncomfortable. Google says that the Lyric Theatre was redone in 1996. The seats feel like they are from the 1930s so plan for that. Some

Even though it's a non-traditional spin on the character, she infuses the role with her signature "hot girl" energy and is a total joy to watch on stage.

Since it's a jukebox musical anyway, having Meg perform some of her own hits while the rest of the company joined in was a great touch. Having seen the original cast in the 2019 Moulin Rouge production, which was also wonderful, I'm really glad I got to experience both interpretations.
