Jenn Colella and Others Sing in New Clips From Broadway's Come From Away
Broadway's Come From Away has released a series of production clips in advance of its March 12 opening at the Schoenfeld Theatre. The show is written by Irene Sankoff and David Hein.
Come From Away is described as follows: ''In a heartbeat, 38 planes with 6,579 passengers were stranded in a remote town in Newfoundland. The locals opened their hearts and homes, hosting this international community of strangers — spurring unexpected camaraderie in extraordinary circumstances. On September 11, 2001, the world stopped. On September 12, their stories moved us all."
The cast features Petrina Bromley (As You Like It), Geno Carr (Dr. Seuss’ How the Grinch Stole Christmas!), Jenn Colella (If/Then), Joel Hatch (Annie), Rodney Hicks (The Scottsboro Boys), Kendra Kassebaum (Wicked), Tony Award nominee Chad Kimball (Memphis), Lee MacDougall (The Music Man), Caesar Samayoa (Sister Act), Q. Smith (Mary Poppins), Astrid Van Wieren (Mamma Mia!), Sharon Wheatley (Avenue Q), Josh Breckenridge (The Scottsboro Boys), Susan Dunstan (The Lion King), Tamika Lawrence (If/Then), and Tony LePage (Rock of Ages).
Tony Award nominee Christopher Ashley (Memphis) directs. Musical staging is by Tony Award nominee Kelly Devine (Rocky), music supervision by Ian Eisendrath (A Christmas Story), scenic design by Tony Award winner Beowulf Boritt (Act One), costume design by Tony Award nominee Toni-Leslie James (Jelly’s Last Jam), lighting design by two-time Tony Award winner Howell Binkley (Hamilton), sound design by Tony Award nominee Gareth Owen (End of the Rainbow), orchestrations by August Eriksmoen (Bright Star), and music arrangements by Ian Eisendrath.
