The popular Canada-set musical Come from Away will have a one-week engagement in Regina this October as part of a nationwide tour.
The musical is based on the real-life story of when thousands of American air travelers were stranded in the remote town of Gander, Newfoundland. It features an ensemble cast, with most actors playing multiple roles as the story unfolds, and musical numbers interspersed with dialogues. Leading roles on the touring version are played by actors including Jeremy Woodard, Marika Aubrey, Kevin Carolan and James Earl Jones II. There will be seven performances of the play across five days, with matinees on Saturday and Sunday.
The Regina stop is part of a North American tour of the musical, which began in 2018. Come from Away was developed by Canadians and had early performances in Toronto before it became a splash on Broadway, receiving multiple Tony Award nominations and being filmed for an Apple TV special. In addition to Regina, the tour will be stopping in Winnipeg and Saskatoon.
Musical tours like this, typically promoted through tools like flyer printing and local media advertisements, are a popular way for worldwide audiences to see shows that have already been a success on Broadway, frequently with different casts and production elements but with the same sense of spectacle.
Come from Away will be performed in Regina from October 12 to 16 at the Conexus Arts Centre.
