✈️❤️ WOW - what an incredible Opening Night ❤️✈️
A performance that gave goosebumps, actors & musicians that lit up the stage and an audience with everyone on their feet in applause. 👏👏👏
A huge congrats to the cast who were loving it as much as everyone in the audience with the emotionally moving story - Come From Away. Based on a true story of those aboard planes grounding on that fateful day - September 11th 2001 and how a community came together to welcome and support those in need. It is easy to see how this Broadway sensational show swooped awards and it feels incredibly poignant to have it in North Devon this week at the 25th anniversary of 911.
📢 An enormous shout out must also go to those behind the scenes including the director, musical director, choreographer, sound/lightning and tech team. There was so much movement, humour, and the human spirit captured by the mesmerising cast from Barnstaple Musical Comedy & Dramatic Society who all took on multiple roles and sang their ❤️❤️❤️ out including:

Come From Away is the uplifting, heart-soaring musical that tells the remarkable true story of the tiny Newfoundland town of Gander and the 7,000 unexpected guests who landed on their doorstep in the days following September 11, 2001. As fear and uncertainty ripple across the world, the people of Gander open their homes and their hearts, proving that kindness can rise from the darkest of moments.
With just twelve actors portraying both the stranded “Plane People” and the extraordinary locals who sheltered them, Come From Away celebrates humanity at its best, resilience, unity, and the quiet courage of everyday compassion. This is not a September 11th story, but a September 12th story: a testament to the power of community and the bonds that change us forever.
As we mark the 25th anniversary of 9/11, this production offers a moment to reflect, remember, and honour those impacted, while also celebrating the extraordinary kindness that emerged in the days that followed.
This heartfelt production is proudly performed by Barnstaple Musical Comedy and Dramatic Society, bringing their passion, warmth, and spirit to this extraordinary true story.
