"Come From Away", Royal Alexandra Theatre, Toronto, ON

Gord and I saw Come From Away this afternoon with his sister, Judy, and Doug, Judy's husband. 

On September 11, 2001, 38 planes with 6,579 passengers were stranded in a remote town in Newfoundland. The locals opened their hearts and homes, and hosted this international community of strangers for a week - spurring unexpected camaraderie in extraordinary circumstances. When the world stopped, their stories moved us all.

Gord and I have seen it a few times over the years when it's come to town and even with a different cast, it's still as good as ever! And it's such a nice story. It is at the Royal Alexandra Theatre on King Street W until  May 4.
