Just in time for the Christmas and winter holiday celebrations, the Toronto cast of ‘Come from Away’ returns to the Royal Alexandra Theatre. It will be the same ensemble cast onstage in March 2020: Saccha Dennis, Steffi DiDomenicantonio, Barbara Fulton, Lisa Horner, James Kall, Jeff Madden, George Masswohl, Ali Momen, Cory O’Brien, Kristen Peace, Eliza-Jane Scott, Clint Butler, Kate Etienne, Amir Haidar, Lori Nancy Kalamanski, David Silvestri and Cailin Stadnyk. The only exception to this is a new cast member, Kyle Brown, who was in rehearsal at the time to replace Kevin Vidal, who was to leave the cast and move to Vancouver a month later. Kyle will finally get his chance to perform in the roles he was destined to play.
The COME FROM AWAY band will also be back. They are Tristan Avakian, Richard Evans, Bob Foster, Greg Hawco, Sean Kilbride, Jonathan Maharaj, Spencer Murray, and Kim Ratcliffe.
COME FROM AWAY features a book, music and lyrics by Olivier, Drama Desk and Outer Critics Circle Award winners and Grammy and two-time Tony Award nominees Irene Sankoff & David Hein, direction by Tony Award winner and Outer Critics Circle Award winner Christopher Ashley, musical staging by Olivier Award winner and two-time Tony Award nominee Kelly Devine, and music supervision by Olivier Award winner and Grammy Award nominee Ian Eisendrath.
‘Come from Away’ tells the remarkable true story of 7,000 stranded passengers and the small town in Newfoundland that welcomed them. Cultures clashed and nerves ran high, but uneasiness turned into trust, music soared into the night, and gratitude grew into enduring friendships. On September 11, 2001 the world stopped. On September 12, their stories moved us all.
Performances resume December 15, 2021.
