2025 Come From Away
Come from Away is based on the true story of the time when the isolated community of Gander, Newfoundland, played host to the world. What started as an average day in a small town turned into an international sleepover, when 38 planes, carrying thousands of people from around the globe, were diverted to Gander’s airstrip on September 11, 2001. Undaunted by culture clashes and language barriers, the people of Gander cheered the stranded travelers with music, an open bar and the recognition that we’re all part of a global family.
Reviews for 2025 Come From Away
2025 Come From Away
Cape Playhouse
The cast of 14 all perform multiple roles in the show, switching characters on stage by simply changing a hat or a jacket. This fluidity adds to the idea that we’re all part of one big melting pot or maybe that we’re all in this together—choose the metaphor that works best for you. The majority of the play is sung through with most of the songs springing up organically. The majority of the songs are sung by the entire ensemble, which adds to the feel of the show as one big group effort. One exception is “Me And The Sky,” sung with assertion by Kelli Barrett as pilot Beverly Bass. The song recounts Bass’s lifelong infatuation with flying and her raw grief in the wake of 9/11 that “the one thing I loved more than anything” has been used as a bomb.

Cape Playhouse
One of the most memorable moments in the show occurs during the finale where the entire cast and orchestra comes out on stage to perform together as one. Orchestra members include musical director Lena Gabrielle (conductor, keyboard, accordion), Dan Meyers (whistles, flute, pipes), Tara Novak (fiddle), Steve Marchena (guitar), Adam McOwen (guitar, mandolin), Brian O’Neill (percussion) and Thomas Schmidt (drums, percussion). Of all the productions I have seen, I can’t recall a time where I truly felt the raw vulnerability of the characters on the stage so deeply. Bravo to Eric Rosen, Kelly Devine and the entire cast of “Come From Away” for a magnificent experience and for bringing this unforgettable story to the Cape.
