neutral · AI labelView post →If you haven't seen the play or watched the movie of the play "Come From Away" I highly, highly recommend it. comefromaway.com/story.php
positive · AI labelView post →Watch “Come From Away” movie about 9/11 Gander Newfoundland. This is how it is done 😃🇨🇦🍁
positive · AI labelView post →Little Shop of Horrors was a hyperfixation for me so I’m not allowed to pick anything else lol. I also unironically love Cats. I like the shitty movie too (because it’s shitty) but the actual musical is just cute and dancey and fun… real furry vibes to it. Come From Away is also a top one for me.
positive · AI labelView post →Friendly reminder that -- the rest of today's jingoism aside -- Come From Away is a most excellent musical and you can watch a recording of the Broadway show on Apple TV+.
positive · AI labelView post →I see the Facebook mums are up in arms about Titanique as "it's disrespectful to those who died in the tragedy. What next, a musical about September 11th" Okay firstly, the musical is a parody of the film, and secondly, haven't you hear of Come From Away?
neutral · AI labelView post →People have probably seen that AppleTV+ is free this weekend. In addition to some great series, there’s CODA, an amazing movie. And Come From Away, which is a recording of the Broadway show (as was done with Hamilton). Both are great, and worth a watch if you don’t have time to get through a series.
positive · AI labelView post →Given the only legitimately good 9/11 movie is the Come From Away proshot, maybe we need a Canadian team to come in and handle things.
positive · AI labelView post →ICYM the movie, the play, or the musical: Come From Away
neutral · AI labelView post →“Come From Away” now a revenge film.
neutral · AI labelView post →If you haven’t, watch Come From Away. It’s a movie about all of it.
positive · AI labelView post →I really enjoyed @mirvish.bsky.social TELL TALE HARBOUR. It’s much broader and jokier than COME FROM AWAY, but still has a great big heart. Review now up at @thestar.com. www.thestar.com/entertainmen...
neutral · AI labelView post →Friendly reminder that the COME FROM AWAY proshot is available to watch on Apple TV. It’s a wonderful musical — and a great reminder of the special relationship with Canada we’ve just thrown away for no good reason.
positive · AI labelView post →If the chance comes up, I reckon Come From Away and, especially, Standing At The Sky's Edge. The Brando film of Guys & Dolls is great (as was the recent stage version).
neutral · AI labelView post →If you have seen the (admittedly mediocre) musical COME FROM AWAY, you know a piece of this story. I always like to also point to the true story that was the basis of the movie ARGO; it's worth reading the book to get a sense of how profoundly Canada stuck their necks out for 6 endangered Americans.
neutral · AI labelView post →Apple TV+ brought back COME FROM AWAY a few days ago. It's extraordinarily good. I showed it tonight to my little local film group. Even the person who let me know "It's not my kind of thing, but I'll come anyway" liked it. If anything, it's more moving than seeing it on stage. #Filmsky
positive · AI labelView post →If you need a little escapism this week, Apple TV+ has the full filmed production of COME FROM AWAY available to stream. It’s a musical about how one Canadian town stepped up on 9/11 to care for grounded American airline passengers, and it’s one of my favorites. Absolutely lovely.
positive · AI labelView post →We watched "Come from Away" last night. It's a terrific play and the performance filmed was superb. I felt sad during the entire show knowing that we somehow elected a mad king who has delusions that Canadians are our enemies. How, why did we let this happen? tv.apple.com/us/movie/com...
positive · AI labelView post →To every 🇺🇸: Get on Apple TV and watch Come From Away. What Gander, Newfoundland did that day (week), is what the US USED to be known for. 🇨🇦 helped people from all over the world, and here we are deporting people left and right. tv.apple.com/us/movie/com...
positive · AI labelView post →Watch “Come From Away” movie about 9/11 Gander Newfoundland. This is how it is done 😃🇨🇦🍁
positive · AI labelView post →I can’t decide! Because of the the movie I tried Wicked Part 1 and loved it so far, Come From Away, any Disney musical, Miraculous movies was good too, SpongeBob, Descendants, Newzies, Hamilton, etc
positive · AI labelView post →But lots of people can’t afford to attend the theater. This movie is the closest they’ll be able to get to the original. That’s why I’m happy that the film is very true to the stage show. I think they should record more stage shows like they did Hamilton & Come From Away.
neutral · AI labelView post →I finally got to enjoy my birthday present from my parents tonight - 10 months late, but well worth the wait! I saw the musical #ComeFromAway. It had me in tears it was so good…which has never ever happened at the theatre before. As a diverted passenger to Halifax, Nova Scotia it was so clear it was written from first hand accounts with such an ear for the quirky little things that happened over those strange days when the world turned upside down. I felt seen in a way I’ve never felt before
positive · AI labelView post →We watched the #ComeFromAway musical on Apple+ with our kids tonight. It was excellent. Highly recommended.
positive · AI labelView post →Now archived: Bob Barth’s One Night Stand with Willem Dafoe on TENZING, Michael Lewen on TINY FUGITIVES, and ONS Film Club guests Ivana Baquero & Doug Jones on PAN’S LABYRINTH. Plus WHALEFALL, COME FROM AWAY & music. Find the show on WFMU’s website or app: wfmu.org @wfmu.bsky.social
neutral · AI labelView post →Just booked our tix to the final preview for the World Premiere of the new musical based on the movie Waking Ned Devine ... in Belfast, Northern Ireland. Amazing creative team including colleague & friend David Hein (who wrote Come From Away). Excited. lyrictheatre.co.uk/whats-on/wak...
neutral · AI labelView post →My little local film club saw COME FROM AWAY this week. Thank you for sharing this story of the Gander airport.
positive · AI labelView post →Just back from #Pride the musical at @nationaltheatre.org.uk which was so moving and uplifting. If you’ve seen the movie, imagine it mixed with Come From Away. I believe it’s moving to The Bridge theatre soon.
neutral · AI labelView post →That was Gander, NewFoundland. They housed + fed 7000 people, more than their own population. There was a film made called Come from Away.
neutral · AI labelView post →Well, Trump is an a$$hole and that will never change; the grifters in his admin will never stop grifting; and no province nor territory of Canada will ever become a 51st state. Come From Away is a great film.
positive · AI labelView post →There is a musical play and a movie called “Come From Away” about this very event! And it’s wonderful!
positive · AI labelView post →It's a wonderful movie called You are here : A Come From Away Story. It was a musical Broadway hit, too.
neutral · AI labelView post →I've spent the last hour looking for a rubber or plastic Atlantic cod prop. No joy. Very disappointed. If I wanted a Bass or a Salmon, I'd be laughing. But can I find a realistic COD?!?? Nope! #comefromaway #amdram #theatre 😞
neutral · AI labelView post →Funny thing—-the ones I love best are not happy, so I wouldn’t want to live there: Les Mis, Fiddler, Showboat, Carousel, Come From Away (yeah, could jump into that one!!) , King and I, Wicked (didn’t see it but would have loved to. The play, not the film), La Mancha, Sound of Music, …RAN OUT OF ROOM
positive · AI labelView post →I thought we had figured these things out with how well Come From Away and Hamilton were filmed (not talking quality of show just cinematography and movie direction) and this is such a high profile production to biff like this. Performances are great of course.
negative · AI labelView post →Film before COME FROM AWAY was WAITRESS: THE MUSICAL. Got into a zone.
neutral · AI labelView post →Musicals I want to see get a movie adaptation (and/or a theatrically released proshoot): 1. If/Then 2. Once On This Island 3. Come From Away 4. Avenue Q 5. Bring It On
neutral · AI labelView post →Our #LGBTQ blog review team had a rare night together at #ComeFromAway via @CulturalTrust - Gen X, Millennial, and Alpha Gen had different takes on the show and 9/11. Our convo was lit. Totally. Runs thru tomorrow. Great show.
positive · AI labelView post →Another great movie about the region is Margaret’s Museum. The Maritimes (or broader, Atlantic Canada so add Come from Away) is a fairly small region, but with distinct cultural districts. It’s worth a leisurely visit. Many Stephen King movies are filmed here, too. www.imdb.com/title/tt0113...
neutral · AI labelView post →And for anyone who doesn't remember, there's a hit, Tony winning, Broadway musical about it. And a documentary. And a MFT movie. The musical is currently touring the US (schedule at the link below) and the Broadway original is streaming on AppleTV+ 🇨🇦 #ComeFromAway comefromaway.com
neutral · AI labelView post →Come from Away. A great play tells this story tv.apple.com/us/movie/com...
positive · AI labelView post →Ironically Cats. But not the recent movie. The filmed musical with Elaine Paige will always be a firm fave. And Rocky Horror Picture Show. Waitress was great too. And Come From Away.
positive · AI labelView post →If you are from the U.S. and trying to understand Canada. 🇨🇦 Watch this movie–"You Are Here: A Come From Away Story" 🎥🍿🎬 (it’s on AppleTV) or “Diverted” This is who we are. 🇨🇦
positive · AI labelView post →There was a docu film made about it called “COME FROM AWAY” and is also a current musical. It’s such a heartwarming and uplifting true story how these mostly moderately living people opened their hearts and homes to complete strangers 🕊️🇨🇦🙌
positive · AI labelView post →- Come From Away. Great Broadway show! - For All Mankind - Fly Me to the Moon (movie) - The Morning Show

positive · AI labelView post →Hamilton, Gypsy, and Come From Away were all FANTASTIC pro-shots. Everybody's Talking About Jamie was a WONDERFUL film adaptation. Many other recent musical movies were honestly not bad... but a LOT have been awful. Cringe awful. And that makes me sad 'cause I worry about the future of this genre.
positive · AI labelView post →I heard something about a Come From Away movie and it’s the worst idea I can think of because the multiple casting is half of the joy of the show.
negative · AI labelView post →Come From Away completed its 1000th West End performance tonight. It’s already sold 850,000 tickets but many more people will be able to see this joyous show when it embarks on a UK tour in 2024 (dates to be announced). You can still catch it at the Phoenix in London before it closes on 7 January. I can’t imagine a more uplifting festive treat. #theatre #londontheatre #comefromaway

neutral · AI labelView post →25th Hour is a masterpiece. United 93 is excellent, but I could only watch it once. Don’t know if it counts as a “film,” but the Come From Away proshot on Apple TV+ is incredible.
positive · AI labelView post →Apple TV has the movie (of the play) Come From Away. It is brilliant, and should remind all Americans of how much we owe our northern neighbors.
