After the lengthy and "serious" theater experience of Man and Superman, Come From Away, the musical about the 7000 people stranded in Newfoundland after 9/11 diverted all planes coming into North America, was a bit of a whirlwind, over before I could take a breath.
Full of high-energy Celtic music, fun accents, touching stories, and a glimpse of the kindness that humans can offer one another, this show is one worth catching, if you happen to be visiting Broadway or it happens to be visiting a town near you. It was a treat to be able to see it in Canada, where audiences feel a certain amount of pride, understandably, given it was "their people" who offered the unanticipated hospitality.
It was even more of a treat to see the show with most of the Canadian Wert clan (my uncle and aunt and cousin). (More on them in upcoming posts.)
