The impressive musical is currently showing at the Grand Opera House in Belfast until June 29
A musical currently in Belfast as part of its first major UK & Ireland tour highlights the human kindness on display in the days after 9/11.
The winner of four Olivier Awards including Best New Musical in London and the Tony Award for Best Direction of a Musical on Broadway, the accolades are well-deserved for this heart-wrenching and heart-warming play that captures the range of emotions that engulfed the world in the days after the tragedy of 9/11.
Other real life stories documented within Come From Away include the mother of a New York firefighter and the eager local news reporter marking her first days in the job covering the huge story and how the town handled it's population doubling overnight as a result. Once the American airspace reopens days after 9/11 and the "plane people" are able to leave, it's clear to see the connections developed between the passengers and the community they leave behind. A moment I loved was the fast-forward to the 10th anniversary on September 11, 2011, where the passengers all returned to Gander to catch up with those who cared for them.
