"Welcome to the Rock" - Come From Away, Tonys 2017 performance 

This is honestly the only cast on Broadway that really just feels like real people sitting down to tell a story - it almost doesn't feel staged at all. I love it

Honestly I was shocked that there were only 12 people in the cast. It really felt like there were more people, which is a testament of how the musical was staged and how the actors acted.

Oh I’ve seen “Dear Evan Hansen” 22 times and “Come From Away” 16 times, and I can honestly say, “Come From Away” was MOST CERTAINLY robbed.

god the moment at 5:32 when the band cuts out and it’s just that harmony oh my god i get full body chills everytime this show is just so increidble

This production had a Newfoundlander in the cast. Love it.

I know it was network TV but still surprised there are no comments about changing the lyrics to "Slow the HELL down"!

I SAW THIS ON BROADWAY YEARS AGO AND IT WAS THE BEST THING EVER. SUCH A FEEL-GOOD SHOW I WOULD SELL MY SOUL TO WATCH IT AGAIN

As my name says, I’m in Toronto, born and bread. I’ve been all across this great country of our, but never NFL, until this event happened, so my husband and I decided to pay a visit, to see if homophobia wasn’t an issue as they claimed…and you know what we found? The kindest, warmest, most loving people we’d ever met in our lives! Complete strangers literally took us by the hand, and offered their home as a place for us to stay. We had booked a hotel, but we just couldn’t say no, and that was only the beginning. They took us for a tour of the entire town and beyond, literally made us feel as if we had been family forever. These are total strangers, who took us into their home, and made damn sure that we knew they didn’t care where we are from or who we love, but loved us unconditionally. I come from a big city, Toronto’s the fourth largest city in North America, a place where no one talks to anybody, and to go to the small town in the middle of nowhere, and to be treated like royalty, was absolutely unbelievable. Everything they say about the place is actually underrated. I can’t say enough good things about the people of Newfoundland, they are absolutely incredible. If ever I lose faith in humanity, I need only remember our trip there, and I feel better. The world can be a pretty brutal place as you all know, but it’s just so nice to know there’s a place out there that’s not corrupted by the cruelty of society, a place where you’re treated as a human being, with unconditional love. I couldn’t say enough good things about them. I know it might not seem like a tourist destination, but not only are the people beautiful, but the landscapes are even more beautiful, and I highly recommend that everyone go there at least once in their life to be reminded of what humanity should be all about! Just makes me even more proud to be Canadian.❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

This musical has gotten me through the pandemic.

Saw this just last night in Brisbane- didn't know anything about it other than it being "the 9/11 musical"- was so surprised at how uplifting it was

I literally just came here from the Apple TV proshot. Didn’t realize what such beauty I’ve missed out on until now. And I wish Come From Away the best following its closing on Broadway this Sunday.

my mother went to school with the lady who plays the pilot!!! i love this show it feels more real than deh ever will

How do you spot the Newfoundlander in Heaven? They’ll be the ones that are homesick.

Hearing it now, this musical deserved a hell of a lot in regards to rewards. I think the issue was that DEH had an easier to digest societal problem (Mental Illness is an issue that needs to be addressed, which is typically a topic where the solution is agreeable amongst the public). Come From Away seems to have a message that I am trying to convey in my (I'm literally drunk btw) comment, but I believe its message is one of acceptance, tolerance, compassion, empathy, and sympathy, so much of each of these traits that enabled the people of Gander to (I honestly don't know what word to use here to encapsulate what the people of Gander did) care (this word, 'care,' is doing a lot of heavy-lifting) for the people from the planes. But at that time, the American Public was not entirely comfortable (sadly) with hearing that message. I think that the infamous events that have occurred since this Tony's, in addition to any other despicable injustices that have escaped the national spotlight, are evidence that the U.S. was not ready and still is not quite ready to hear a message of empathy for all. (I think empathy for all is a better summation of the message. If I'm hurting, I want consolation. Anyone with empathy can see that. Anyways.) Many Americans love to proclaim that they're empathetic while completely ignoring the plights of others. While I think DEH was a great musical, I genuinely think that CFA was overlooked due to its "controversial" message. (It isn't controversial, I just dont think the general U.S. populace could handle its message of love and compassion WITHOUT PREJUDICE OR BIAS to all.)

Saw this on broadway with the original cast while on a trip with my highschool theatre group. I will never forget the feeling I got watching it and I doubt I will ever get it again. Brilliant

I'd heard this song on Spotify - on random Broadway playlists - and always loved it, but hadn't heard the rest of the show, didn't know it was about, just enjoyed the music. When I finally googled it to get an understanding of the story, I was shocked - I'd heard of this town, I remember hearing what they did, I remember the news in the weeks after the attacks talking about this small corner of the world and how kind they were in the face of such evil. I immediately went to listen to the rest of the show on Spotify, and am now looking to see the show live as theater returns. This show absolutely deserves the accolades.

Just finished watching the proshot of this. Easily became one of my faves

I saw this in London. After spending most of my life living in Canada it made me cry with pride.

I got to see this show live and as amazing as this recording is it does not do the show justice - being there, live, fEELING the vibrations of the cast and percussion, there’s no other feeling like it anywhere else

I saw this show in LA this Tuesday, I knew nothing about it, and now I can comfortably say it's one of my favorite musicals and deserves more recognition. It's so freaking good and can't even express how much I loved it.

"Come' From Away" Is so amazing! The cast, the story, the product is simply - WORLD CLASS!!! A story of hope, love, compassion, understanding, empathy and most of all generosity!!!! YOU SO HAVE TO SEE IT!!!😍😍🍁🍁🍁

As an islander close to nfld I'm cape breton I got to see in New York. The best

Man, what a tear-jerker! I lived those days in Toronto, near the airport. It was so quite with no airplanes flying. The only things flying were birds, bats and bugs; we had to wait for the evening for the bats.

i listened to this recording when it first came out almost seven years ago (wow that's crazy) and i can confidently say that i get goosebumps every single time i hear this song. one of the best broadway shows of all time

I just saw this in Minneapolis, and it includes at least one original Broadway cast member. It is the perfect mix of humor, drama, and heartbreaking sincerity. I was only a teenager when 9/11 happened, so I didn't have as much understanding as those older than me, and as I watched this musical, it was like I had been there that day as an adult. It really feels like a bunch of regular people in Newfoundland telling their stories. Highly recommend!

4:36 gives me full body chills every single time

I get chills every single time I watch a performance from CFA doesn’t matter the song or cast which says a lot about the show itself.

Why does this sound almost identical to the Olivier performance even tho it’s a completely different cast? I’m shocked and amazed. I haven’t seen a clip of this show that hasn’t made me want to cry

Saw this last night for the second time (Broadway Across Canada) and it's still my favourite musical by far

I loved this show so much. I loved the cast- all ages and sizes- so much more authentic of an experience!!!!!!

Absolute perfection. This show THIS SHOW changed my life. You keep your Rent and everything, THIS show awakened me.

I am from Nova Scotia and very close to a lot of NFLDERS! I love the Rock so I visit anytime I can. This amazing performance made me feel I was there, so heartfelt and genuinely touching! One a kind and very accurate, showing how loving and welcoming these excellent folks are!

Something about his awakens something in my soul

bruh the 2017 tony’s hit different

This musical and Great Comet... man

this show is incredible

Its april 2022 and finally Just got to see this musical here in the Netherlands after it was postponed a few times due to the covid restrictions. And wow it was so great and ingredible.

I get teary eyed when she tells oz to turn on the radio

Okay I’ve been in love with this song for like a year but I’ve never seen it live and I’m even more in love now 🥹 this cast is freaking fantastic and the stage version is so similar to the obc recording I’m blown away

Come From Away is damn near a PERFECT show. I’ve never been so moved by a script and it’s staging

love it. love stage performance. Newfoundland is the best place on earth, especially the people, the culture and nature.

So incredibly lucky to have seen this cast pre-Broadway at Ford's Theater in DC.

Come From Away is coming to the theater near me in January and I can't wait!!!!!! So excited!!!!!!

That was a spectacular performance!

Loved this show saw it in Toronto….hopefully going to see it again soon.

Great story - and yes, the people of Newfoundland really are that nice.

Most of this cast and band are in the pro shot filmed May 2021. Even people who left the show.

Way better than Dear Evan Hansen

Oh love this musical so much. It’s my favourite so far! You can see how they are into it and also the way all those who play the musical instruments came on stage as part of them… it just got me again and again!

Love that he pronounced Newfoundland correctly! lol

I love this song!!

Looking forward to see it in Sydney New South Wales in July 21 flying in from Darwin NT .

I love come from away because the actors in the musical interviewed the real survivors and the music is really catchy

Chills. Powerful performance.

I'm also an Islander! Uh, a Vancouver Islander though on the other side of the country, but I love Newfoundland.

I know the rivalry was DEH vs Great Comet, but years later and I still say Come From Away should have taken Best Musical in 2017.

Interesting how they combined the very first number with the very last!

The person who plays the mayor in the play is my theater teachers very good friend

This was a brilliant musical.

Finally getting the chance to see this on Saturday! So excited to be able to see this

I have this sudden, inexplicable urge to go to Newfoundland now.

watched it just today!!! it’s so good 💀🙌🏻

I'm about to see this show tn; could not be more excited!

Can’t wait ! Seeing it TONIGHT ! ( Broadway Tour).

I knew nothing about this musical came across it by accident courtesy of Spotify hear the first song It hooked me and I wondered what it was about. Had to listen to it all. So good love it. Do you know even better than Les Miserables and I am a devote fan. The rock tells such a story. One I did know. Oh love to see . If it's playing best luck. It's worth everything. Low love 😍 it

Saw this live it was amazing

The great thing about Jenn's *"farthest place you'll get from Disneyland"* line is that her character Beverly was piloting a flight from Charles de Gaulle on 9/11 - the closest major airport to *Disneyland Paris*

Coming up on 9/11/22 thank you for the video.

Was this video gone for a year or two? It is my favorite musical theatre performance ever and I watched it religiously, the arrangement is different from the cast recording and this version makes me cry. Thank you for bringing it back.

It was perfect

3:41 Sadly they had to change that for this performance since in the musical they say STFD: Slow the fuck down

We could use some of their hospitality and openess nowadays

So proud of being a Canadian!!

The Broadway community is split into two camps. People who think Come From Away should have won, and people who think The Great Comet should have won.

this musical was snubbed so hard it’s almost criminal. i saw this show on tour and it was easily one of the best shows ive seen, i was in the balcony and it still felt so intimate and vulnerable. And while ive never seen great comet live just from the music alone it was robbed, the diversity and whiplash in every song while still telling a coherent story, a beautiful opera. I’ve seen dear evan hansen and while the cast was great it was just to mediocre next to these giants of musicals

I'll be watching the Apple TV version today

1:58 is when it starts

I can't believe this is real, this is like the musical Corky St Clair wrote in Waiting for Guffman

5:32 CHILLS. EVERY. TIME.

Note - Kevin Kline @5:57...you can see his "well, it's not about me, so I'm not really interested" moment.

3:04 woah that voice!

Anyone ever been able to explain why Building 7 in NYC just happened to collapse even without being hit?

I still remember going to the airport in the back of my Grampy’s station wagon to watch the planes come in…

STHD - "Slow The Hell Down". I am sure there is a different version of this.

I'm sorry, but DEAR EVAN HANSEN has absolutely NOTHING on this incredible show.

They didn't win?? What??

I love Newfoundlanders !

I was one of the passengers and never witnessed any happy hours, it wasn't a time for parties.

Big ups to the violin player in the Grateful Dead shirt.

I am in there camp and dance to

Even tho the broadway version ain't as good as the West End (Sorry but it's true), I'll never fail to get chills during this!

CFA losing to DEH is nuts.

The Tony Awards were won by Marc Platt’s money.

Idk why I’m pissed he called it a play

💙💛💙💛💙💛

2:00

this is good, but there's nothing quite like the real thing

1:59

2:04

When you realize that 9/11 was planned and executed to some degree of precision you tend to see how foolish this all is. There is no shortage of love and appreciation for the men and women of Gander, NFLD but knowing it could have been prevented and blatantly wasn't should make you second guess what freedoms you truly have.
