Thank you Vet Tix, The Phoenix Theatre Company, the Come From Away players, sponsor Miracle Mile Delicatessen, all directors, managers, coordinators, costume and production designers, audio/visual/lighting/sound techs, musicians, stage hands, ushers, food and beverage servers, bartenders, ticketers, and your spectacular staffs and volunteers for promoting such a splendid evening. This was something like our tenth visit to The Phoenix Theatre Company. We just love it! There are restaurants within and around the theatre, liquor bars, as well as a snack bar, which are huge pluses. What is also cool is the gift shop usually sells memorabilia that coincides with the theme of the numerous shows. There are no bad seats in the house. We had great, comfortable seats in the Center Section, Row S, Seats 101-104 of the Dr. Stacie J. and Richard J Stephenson Theatre, the newest, luxurious feature of TPTC, which has several sets. The Phoenix Theatre Company's website advertised: "About the Show A story of kindness in the face of tragedy, Come From Away is the true story of a small Newfoundland town that welcomed 7,000 stranded travelers after 9/11. As fear and uncertainty gripped the world, the people of Gander opened their hearts, forging unexpected friendships and proving that even in the darkest times, compassion can shine through. With a soaring score and unforgettable storytelling, this Tony Award-winning musical is a deeply moving and unexpectedly joyful celebration of human connection, resilience, and the extraordinary power of generosity." With a description like that, we suspected we were in for an emotional, turbulent flight, and we were not wrong! One minute we were laughing. The next, we were in tears. The show was funny and sad. It prodded, probed, and was intrusive. It tapped into the fears, anxiety, turmoil, confusion, angst, etc., brought forth by the events of 09/11/2001, not only for those of us in the United States, but Newfoundland. Our emotions were all over the place. We were forced to wrestle with what lie beneath. It was such a touching musical! I can't speak highly enough about the performers. They were off the charts incredible!. The singing, dancing, acting, adopting various parts, speaking in different dialects, multiple costume changes, set rearranging was amazing. I don’t believe I have ever seen a more dynamic, high-energy presentation. This is a must-see show! What's also nice about The Phoenix Theatre Company is after the plays, the performers hang around outside to chat with fans. Again, thank you Vet Tix, The Phoenix Theatre Company, the Come From Away players, sponsor Miracle Mile Delicatessen, all directors, managers, coordinators, costume and production designers, audio/visual/lighting/sound techs, musicians, stage hands, ushers, food and beverage servers, bartenders, ticketers, your stupendous teams, volunteers, and anyone I missed, for making it such an awesome experience. We, active military personnel, veterans, first responders, our families and friends, truly appreciate all you do for us, our communities, and our blessed nation! You are life savers, and you rock!
