“Reimagined one of the most iconic stagings in contemporary musical theatre… an inspired concept”

In Come From Away, the beloved Canadian musical by Irene Sankoff and David Hein, director Julie Tomaino and set designer Scott Penner (Crow’s The Surrogate) have reimagined one of the most iconic stagings in contemporary musical theatre with more than 180 wooden chairs, donated by members of the London community. They rise up twenty-three feet into the air, forming both a striking visual metaphor and a powerful expression of collective generosity. It is an inspired concept, rooted in the Parks Canada red chairs and the phrase “You Are Here,” that is a heartfelt reminder that this story is as much about place and belonging as it is about crisis.
