Amid the horrors of 9/11 comes a ray of light in the form of the musical “Come From Away” at the Wolverhampton Grand Theatre this week.
Based on the experiences of travellers stranded when the US airspace was closed due to the terrorist attacks on the World Trade Centre and across the USA, “Come From Away” has enjoyed record-breaking success both on Broadway and in London’s West End, and is now touring the UK to rave reviews.
The key to the success of the current UK tour is definitely the casting of the show, which is faultless. The diversity of the cast means that the characterisations appear completely organic. Every performer moves between several characters with razor-sharp precision and although Christopher Ashley’s direction is fast and furious, the clarity of each scene and the skilled dramatic performances ensure the storyline is easy to follow.
The upbeat, unique opening number, “Welcome to Rock” lifts the audience from the off and from then on, this short, sharp show runs like a river.
