Come From Away

This is going to sound really weird, but I want to sign up to kiss the cod, so I can become an Islander! I assure you this won’t seem like a strange activity after you’ve seen this extraordinary, exhilarating and life-affirming musical, now playing at the Marriott Theatre in Lincolnshire. First of all, this musical is not, as many have labeled it, about the tragedy of 9/11. That horrendous event of 25 years ago serves to inspire the plot of the show. But the musical isn’t about the terrorist attack. COME FROM AWAY is a positive, uplifting, brilliantly written and professionally performed musical with a great score that’s set up by the appalling events of that day. COME FROM AWAY is a moving, cathartic experience about the triumph of humanity over hatred. It’s an exhilarating, joyful, often funny and sometimes heartbreaking story that celebrates the good that lives within each of us. It shows what happens when people put aside their fears, prejudices and hostility to embrace all that it means to be human. Welcome to the Rock!
