This morning, the Broadway reopening cast of Come From Away performed on Good Morning America live from Times Square to celebrate their upcoming return to the Gerald Schoenfeld Theatre and the release of the show's proshot, now available to stream on AppleTV Plus!

Host Michael Strahan got to chat with original Broadway cast, Joel Hatch, about returning to the rehearsal room and soon the Broadway stage.

"It's the whole gambit of emotions. A good share of this cast has been together for over five years, so we've been together for a lot of marriages, births, deaths together. And we've celebrated and we've grieved together. And this has been magical, walking into the room and hugging each other. And the chance to tell this story again is the greatest gift we could've had," said Hatch.

Watch the cast perform the show's opening number, Welcome to the Rock, below.

The cast features De'lon Grant; Joel Hatch; Caesar Samayoa; James Seol; Q. Smith; Pearl Sun; Olivier Award nominee Rachel Tucker; Astrid Van Wieren; Emily Walton; Jim Walton; Sharon Wheatley; Paul Whitty; Josh Breckenridge; John Jellison; Tony LePage; Monette McKay; Happy McPartlin and Julie Reiber. Plus, on Friday, October 8, Petrina Bromley will return as Bonnie & others.
