For a show that’s dazzling, passionate and unpredictable- get yourself to Chicago.
Come From Away
Here you’ll find the story of 7,000 passengers, first displaced and later welcomed by a town called Newfoundland. Come From Away is based on the true story of the aftermath of the September 11 attacks. How exactly is this pulled off as a musical I hear you ask? The answer is, very beautifully and honourably indeed. Written by Irene Sankoff and David Hein, they think of the show as the story of ‘9/12’.
Dear Evan Hansen
Our tale begins with a letter that the troubled Evan Hansen is asked to write to his therapist. In a strange turn of events, the letter somehow ends up being mistaken for the suicide note of another student.
