‘One Night Only’ to reunite cast and creatives from international hit musical Come From Away
SimG Productions and Musical Theatre Radio have announced their fourth ‘One Night Only’ reunion event on 19 December, reuniting the writers, creatives and actors from international hit musical Come From Away.
The unique, virtual, interactive evening (hosted by director and producer Simon Greiff) will feature panel guests including writers Irene Sankoff and David Hein, director Christopher Ashley, musical stager Kelly Devine, musical supervisor & arranger Ian Eisendrath, producer Sue Frost, Michael Rubinoff from Sheridan College and the Canadian Music Theatre Project, and international cast members; Jonathan Andrew Hume (West End), Caesar Samayoa (Broadway), Barbara Fulton (Toronto) and Christine Toy Johnson (North American Tour).
The event, like previous ones, will be a one-time live discussion experience, focusing on the writing and creating of an original musical and what it takes to bring a new show to the stage. Cast members will also give an insight into what it’s like to perform in an award winning production, and the audience will be encouraged to submit questions for the guests. The event will finish with a post show virtual stage door mix and mingle.
Come From Away is a joyous, award-winning new musical that shares the incredible real-life story of the 7,000 air passengers from all over the world who were grounded in Canada during the wake of 9/11, and the small Newfoundland community that invited these ‘come from aways’ into their lives. As uneasiness turned into trust and music soared into the night, gratitude grew into friendships and their stories became a celebration of hope, humanity and unity.
The musical has taken the West End by storm, playing to nightly standing ovations at London’s Phoenix Theatre. It has also celebrated sold-out, record-breaking engagements on Broadway, across the USA, in Canada and in Australia.
All profits from the ‘One Night Only’ series are donated to Acting For Others, with their previously events having raised over £1000 for the charity to date.
