I was in it in a community production in middle school and it was some of the most fun I’ve ever had. The story and songs are cute and funny but at the same time it has important, inspiring messages.
Oh gosh this is really hard, but I'm gonna go with (not completely in order)

-Hadestown
-Dear Evan Hansen
-The Band's Visit

The Come From Away book that came out last month. I might be biased cause that’s my all time favorite show, but it has a lot of background info around the real events of the show and is super interesting!

The Band’s Visit and Once On This Island are both 90 minutes. Come From Away is just a tiny bit longer at 100 minutes.

Come From Away 100%. Sadly, I’ve only seen it once and it was in Toronto, not Broadway (still absolutely incredibly life-changing, don’t get me wrong by any means) plus stagedooring once in NYC, so please excuse me while I cry for the rest of my life because I won’t get to see Jenn Colella sing Me and the Sky love before she leaves

I’m super excited for Zach to come to Broadway! My family happens to be good friends with his cousin and she got me one of the Evan casts from him when she saw the show in Toronto this past spring!
My proxy on FB was unable to find several of the things I had on my list so if anyone here managed to pick up any of the following that they're willing to sell, let me know!
Looking to spend whatever you purchased the item for, possibly slightly more if it's really rare. I'm an unemployed college student so less $$ the better!
Last I heard (sometime in June or July I think) she had extended at least through November. I haven't heard anything about past that, but I really hope she does! I think it's fairly likely considering the nature of the show and the relationships between the cast members, but she (and many of the others) have been doing the show for a total of over 4 years (counting pre-Broadway) and I realize they're going to move on eventually...
If you happened to find a pre-Broadway playbill (Atlantic Theatre) for The Band's Visit, I've been on the lookout for one for quite a while! Also pretty much anything Come From Away related, especially rare items that they don't sell at the theatre/online.
I was in that show in a community production back in middle school, and I agree - it needs more appreciation! That said, I do have to say that the British accents on the cast recording I used really do add a lot. Also, it seems to me to be more popular as a show for community youth/school theatre, but who knows...
Every time in Come From Away when they switch from the plane set-up to a scene in Gander (e.g. the Tim Horton's). It's incredible of how much they can do just with 12 chairs, in a matter of literal seconds.
