Full company of hit musical COME FROM AWAY announced ahead of West End return
Ahead of its reopening at the Phoenix Theatre in London from 22 July, the international hit musical Come From Away announces two new members of the London cast and confirms the full company.
Gemma Knight Jones (Falsettos, Sister Act) will join as Hannah and others, with Sam Oladeinde (Hamilton, The Book of Mormon) as Bob and others.
They join the current London cast: Jenna Boyd (Beulah and others), James Doherty (Claude and others), Mary Doherty (Bonnie and others), Mark Dugdale (Kevin T/Garth and others), Alice Fearn (Beverley/Annette and others), Kate Graham (Diane and others), Alasdair Harvey (Nick/Doug and others), Jonathan Andrew Hume (Kevin J/Ali and others), Harry Morrison (Oz and others), and Emma Salvo (Janice and others), with Chiara Baronti, Ricardo Castro, Stuart Hickey, Sorelle Marsh, Alexander McMorran, Micha Richardson, Jennifer Tierney and Matthew Whennell-Clark.
Come From Away is written by Irene Sankoff and David Hein, with direction by Christopher Ashley, musical staging by Kelly Devine, musical supervision and arrangements by Ian Eisendrath, set design by Beowulf Boritt, costumes by Toni-Leslie James, lighting by Howell Binkley, sound by Gareth Owen, and orchestrations by August Eriksmoen.
Winner of every major Best Musical award when it opened in the West End in March 2019, Come From Away tells the remarkable and inspiring true story of 7,000 stranded air passengers during the wake of 9/11, and the small town in Newfoundland that welcomed them. Cultures clashed and nerves ran high, but as uneasiness turned into trust, music soared into the night and gratitude grew into enduring friendships.
Twenty years ago on 11 September 2001, the world stopped. On 12 September and in the years following, their stories of kindness, generosity and love have moved us all.
