Video: COME FROM AWAY Now Playing at Milwaukee Rep
Come From Away recently became the all-time best-selling show in Milwaukee Rep history
Come From Away is running now through December 14 in Milwaukee Rep's new Checota Powerhouse Theater. Check out a sneak peek of the show in the video here!
As BroadwayWorld previously announced, Come From Away has become the all-time best-selling show in Milwaukee Rep history, surpassing even the beloved holiday tradition A Christmas Carol. With over $1.55 million in ticket sales, Come From Away has broken the record previously held by the 2016 production of A Christmas Carol which grossed $1,536,136.
Come From Away tells the remarkable true story of nearly 7,000 airline passengers from around the world who were grounded in the small Canadian town of Gander in the wake of 9/11. Featuring a dynamic score and spirited performances, the musical has been hailed as an exhilarating celebration of humanity, resilience, and connection.
The cast for Come From Away features many Milwaukee Rep stand out performers including Tony Award-winner Karen Ziemba (Prelude to a Kiss) as Diane, Grace Bobber (The Last Five Years) as Janice, Michael Doherty (The Nerd) as Oz, Kelley Faulkner (Cabaret, Always…Patsy Cline) as Beverley/Annette, Gavin Gregory (Ragtime) as Bob, Richard Ruiz Henry (Guys and Dolls) as Claude, Steven Koehler (Guys on Ice) as Nick/Doug and Megan Loomis (The Craic, Run Bambi Run) as Bonnie.

The band includes Glen Asch, Olivia Dobbs, Bob Monogle, Patrick Morrow, Michael Ritter, Vidar Skrede Paule Westfahl and Ben Yats.
