Reviews
"“The best musical I’ve seen all year and possibly ever.”"
"A moving, thoroughly entertaining tribute to international amity and the indomitable human spirit … surefire source of laughter and tears."
"Rarely over the decades have I seen an audience leap to its feet as quickly as when the last note was sung last night at the world premiere of ‘Come From Away.’"
