Casa Mañana Theatre closes its Broadway Season with Come From Away, a musical sensation with deep local ties. The show, presented by Autobahn. Check out the photos!

Casa Mañana Theatre will close its Broadway season with COME FROM AWAY, a musical based on the true story of 7,000 passengers diverted to Gander, Newfoundland after 9/11, including TCU alum and local American Airlines captain Beverley Bass.

As usual, Jenn Colella has brought a not-to-be-missed show to 54 Below, where a Colella concert is appointment programming.

TheatreWorks Silicon Valley will stage COME FROM AWAY, the Olivier Award-winning Broadway musical by David Hein and Irene Sankoff, directed by founder Robert Kelley.

Still quite a rousing crowd-pleaser—offering empathy and kindness as its main endearing ingredient— La Mirada Theatre's brand new, 'non-replica' production of the Tony-winning musical COME FROM AWAY is a superb, rather enjoyable new Broadway-caliber production that is as every bit as appealing as the characters that populate it. Energetically directed and choreographed by Richard J. Hinds, the show exudes a joy and pleasantness that few musicals are able to achieve with such ease. Funny, touching, celebratory, appropriately honorable, and musically endearing, COME FROM AWAY remains an awe-inspiring theatrical testament to compassion, and will forever remind us that even in the shadow of horrific, unbelievable devastation, humanity's capacity for kindness and generosity can—and should—take center stage.

The new London cast has been announced of the global hit musical MAMMA MIA! Plus, the show's booking period has extended at London’s Novello Theatre. Learn more here!

The Muny’s emotionally impactful Come From Away captures the humanity, heart, and soul of Irene Sankoff and David Hein’s poignant book and beautifully soaring score. This elite cast of actors transports the audience back to Gander, Newfoundland with lived-in and emotionally truthful performances. Director Seth Skylar-Heyn did the near impossible shrinking the colossal Muny’s stage into an intimate storytelling space. Scenic designer Edward E. Haynes’ revolving stage is genius.
