As a Canadian who was too young to be able to truly understand just everything that happened that day, I'm so proud of how such a small community showed the world just how kind we can be and how we can come together in times of need. I may be an Ontarian but have family roots in me from there and am so proud to be part Newfie. Come From Away is such an amazing story and to make it a musical and not just a documentary on TV is very unique and so special. It took such a horrid day and turned the heartwarming actions of a small town and educated the world what being neighbours to the North means.

Come From Away is a musical that speaks of the true stories that the writers discovered when they went to Gander Newfoundland on the 10th anniversary of 9/11. A number of the ‘plane people’ (the term that refers to those in the planes that landed in Gander when the planes were ordered to land at the nearest airport) travelled back to Gander and the surrounding communities to thank those who took in over 7000 people.

@jairynbullinger 2 дня назад

“Prologue: Old Red Hills of Home” from Parade in my mind is a perfect opening number. It’s a beautiful timely melody that does a stunning job setting up the culture of a town bred in pride and hatred; while subliminally alienating the main character. From the first 8 minutes of the show, it shows you how it was possible for all events to take place the way they did

@TheBlkSimsQyeen День назад

100% agree with number one. The ending of the number where the chorus are repeatedly singing “Sweeney” like the violin stabs in the Psycho score giving way to the first entrance of Sweeney himself is a pure goosebump moment.

@richardcanedo1614 3 дня назад

So, "That Give Us Chills" excludes A LOT of opening numbers that are upbeat and joyous (see: "Good Morning, Baltimore" from Hairspray, and many more), and the "Us" makes the choices inarguable, but okay, fine, whatever; I'll toss in my two cents worth. For this list, in addition to overlooking some worthy newer (1980s-present) musical numbers like "I Wish" from Into the Woods and "Prologue: Ragtime" from Ragtime, the MsMojo list-makers seem afraid to include or unaware at all of earlier musicals, with maybe three "usual" exceptions. Here, I am astonished that the opening of one of those three musicals they do tend to be aware of, "Prologue/The Jet Song" from West Side Story is not even in the Honorable Mentions. (But "Requiem for Evita" is here? Please.) Where is the haunting and, yes, chills-inducing "Summertime" from Porgy and Bess?? Where is "I, Don Quixote" from Man of La Mancha? Where are the three great "We're about to put on a great show for you" songs: "Another Openin', Another Show" from Kiss Me Kate; "Comedy Tonight" from "A Funny Thing . . ."; and "Magic to Do" from Pippin? (Done right, that last one can be chills-inducing too!) Where is "Wilkommen" from Cabaret? I'll stop now; but I call on Ms. Mojo (again) to stop being so "presentist" and expand their horizons beyond the last 40 years, and especially the last 20.

@@jwsel Pippin was written off for a long time as an outdated product of its time -- the "disappointed 70s" after the idealism and grand expectations of the 60s. It has proven significantly more enduring and deeper than that, and the opening number sets it up so well: it seems like a throwback to the "Hey, kids, let's put on a show" idealism of a much earlier time, but toward the end of the show, that opening seems much darker and more complicated.
