    This show was sooooo good! The cast was amazing in how they played multiple roles of islanders or plane people. The power of their voices throughout the musical was strong. The band was great too, appreciated their "screech off" at the end. We got tickets from the TKTS booth and ended up 5 rows from the stage just a bit to the right. Great seats, we missed nothing. The set was well done and how the cast used the different chairs and arrangements was cool. I'd highly recommend this show on Broadway (before it ends on October 2nd!) or if it comes to a theater near you. We knew the premise a bit but were blown away and Come From Away exceeded all expectations. I've been listening to the soundtrack ever since (& a lot of the cast is the same).

    Easily in my top five favorite Broadway shows I've ever seen! I came in to the show with absolutely zero knowledge of the background of the plot. This is an interesting story regarding a small town (Gander, Newfoundland) during September 11, 2001. There's only a dozen actors, but each one plays several different roles perfectly. I was amazed at how well they could make you feel many emotions. You will laugh, smile, and cry all throughout this perfect performance! The orchestra is also solid. They do a good job of bringing the energy to the show. Overall, I was so impressed at how amazing this show was. Even sitting in the mezzanine, do you have a great view of the stage that is unobstructed. The theater itself is extremely beautiful and well-built. Acoustically it really helps make the show come to life. Go to the show. Do not skip this if you have the opportunity. You will absolutely not regret it, and you will experience one of the best performances of your life!

    Seen CFA on Christmas day and it was definitely a great way to spend the holiday. It wasn't the best show I've seen or even 1 of my favorites but I highly enjoyed it. The music and cast was amazing. There weren't many shows playing Christmas day and the ones that were playing I've seen except this 1 so I purchased tickets. I sat orchestra left and had a great view of the stage. The show is 1 hour and 40 minutes long with no intermission and went by pretty quickly. I bought a drink, some snacks, and had a great time. It was a great Christmas.

    Five stars for sure!!! Such an enjoyable and delightful performance. Very moving and powerful! If you are visiting NYC, try to pair it with the 911 memorial museum and one world trade observatory in the same day. You will get a full sense and journey of the day 911. There are very limited cast that perform multiple characters. But they are all standout and very all rounded. Scenes are simple but to the point. Applaud to whoever setup the scenes!!

    What a performance. If you have any time at all, go see this show. The premise: when 9/11 happened, incoming flights to the US were diverted to Canada, to clear US airspace ASAP. Some flights landed in Gander, Newfoundland. A small town of less than 10,000 people suddenly had to accommodate an influx of 7000 passengers. - For more info, google "Operation Yellow Ribbon" - 12 cast members, 6 band members, no orchestra - 1hr40min, no intermission - The cast had to switch between multiple characters throughout the show and I loved how the accents switched too - What's different to other shows is that as the characters speak, the music continues in the background. At first it made hearing the dialogue a bit difficult. - Since it deals with quite heavy subject matter, there were bits of humor sprinkled here and there - At one point a woman was openly weeping behind me - Some band members joined the cast onstage during a couple of songs. That was fun to see. - Standing ovation at the end - After the cast took their bow, the whole band came out and jammed together for about 10 minutes. The audience was on their feet and it was a fantastic way to end the show. You hear about 9/11 a lot. The people who lost their lives. The family/friends related to those people. But what you don't hear as often is about those whose lives were impacted outside of that particular group. These Canadians from a small town offered everything they could to help. This incident had nothing to do with them. Yet they still created a safe haven for those who were momentary displaced. Faith in humanity restored indeed.

    This is absolutely my favorite broadway show. I saw it for the first time in 2019 when I visited the city and I saw it another 3 times after I moved here and Broadway opened again post covid. The story and the characters and music are so beautiful. (I also read the book which wasn't told quite as well but still nice to read). I'm always so impressed how the characters seamlessly transition between characters, costumes, and accent while almost always being on the stage. There's such a good balance between heart wrenching real life stories and also humor. I went to the show for the closing weekend in October and got to meet Jen Colella (original cast pilot), Beverly Bass (actual pilot), and several others. I sobbed during the entire show and sobbed when I got to meet them. I was so so sad that the show closed but will have to settle for watching it on Apple TV!

    Neat set with the trees.

    Such a delightful show about such a dark subject. The artists do a really nice job of telling several stories with a common theme and making them make sense. The kids were fascinated that the actors all played so many different roles. It was amazing how the turn of a phrase and voice mixed with a hat helped turn the actors into different people. The band on stage was a rare treat. They really did a nice job of being part of the show. At our show, they even stayed for an extra craic for the audience. Amazing. I had listened to the soundtrack but it was cool to see the staging and how they wove together all the stories.

I wish I would've taken a picture because it was really confusing how to use our priority tickets because there were so many people standing in line they were blocking the sign. Also, you should definitely get the priority tickets. For us it was only $11 extra and it is WELL worth it. The play was amazing! Everybody did such a great job and I really loved Scorpius's character. Of course Tom Felton was there as the original Draco Malfoy, which is the entire reason that we came. If you want to during the play, you can order food to your seat which I thought was cool. The rest of the snacks were good for what they were. We booked through AAA and got a snack bag with popcorn water and a cursed child cup filled with Gummies. Everything was really good. If I could change one thing and I know this is like, "come on" but the seats were kind of uncomfortable. Google says that the Lyric Theatre was redone in 1996. The seats feel like they are from the 1930s so plan for that. Some

I had previously seen the touring production in West Palm Beach, Florida, but there was something magical about experiencing it in New York. The costumes were spectacular, the acting was divine, and the energy from the audience was absolutely electric. From the moment the curtain went up, I was completely captivated. The theater itself is older, so the seats aren't the most comfortable, but I actually enjoy these historic venues. They have so much character and charm that you just don't find in newer theaters. I'm so glad I had the opportunity to see Moulin Rouge! on Broadway before it closes. It was a memorable and thoroughly enjoyable experience. The bathroom attendance made sure that this 'older' feeling did get cast its shadow on the patrons and for that I am grateful.

The show was surprisingly modern, and completely captivating from start to finish. The energy in the theater was unreal as everyone, including celebrities, came out to celebrate Megan Thee Stallion in her final performance as Zidler. She was hilarious, quick, and owned that stage in every moment she appeared. Even though I've seen her perform on tour, it felt like such a special experience to witness. We soaked in the city, took in some sights, and of course grabbed a slice while we were there. I am beyond grateful to my husband for such an incredible and thoughtful gift. This is a memory I will never forget! Signed a Hottie

    Maybe Leiber and Stoller aren't super famous but their music is! This is a really cool jukebox…read moremusical with no plot but a continuous flowing song and dance with a cast of about 8 people. Since it was one set, they did a good job going from area to area to keep things visually interesting without breaking from the singing. At one point the actors ran through the audience aisles, which I usually find really unsettling, but the music is so catchy why not get up and dance? So simple in concept but really well executed. Only critique was the one girl who wasn't a size 2 had on long sleeves and pants under a dress. Like...it's not that hard to dress an averaged size woman. She had a great solo number too, so shame the costume designers fell flat. But it was a high energy show and not too pricey! Definitely recommend!

I can go and see it many more times. It's one of those shows that because it's all singing one can go again and again and enjoy it the last time just as much as or more every time. Take a friend/s or go alone but don't miss it. Have fun!
