Musical Come From Away will return to the Phoenix Theatre next year, with a special concert version.
Come From Away: The Concert will run at the theatre from February 10 to 27, and feature a cast including Jenna Boyd, Tarinn Callender, James Doherty, Mary Doherty, Mark Dugdale, Alice Fearn, Kate Graham, Alasdair Harvey, Jonathan Andrew Hume, Harry Morrison, Emma Salvo and Cat Simmons.
The specially adapted concert version will have a reduced audience capacity to allow for social distancing and marks the first time the show will have been seen since closing in March with other theatres around the UK.
There will also be an invited dress rehearsal performance of the concert, which will be free for key workers to attend on February 10 at 2.30pm. Details on how to apply for free tickets to this performance will be announced in January.
Producers John Brant and Joseph Smith said: “We are thrilled to be able to present Come From Away in this specially adapted staged concert. It’s been too long since we were able to welcome people to the Rock and we’ve really missed our audiences. The resilience and kindness of Newfoundlanders is known the world over and constantly provides inspiration to us all in these challenging times. Theatre is integral to the vibrancy of the UK’s creative sector; it is one of the key drivers of the night-time economy of many cities across the UK so now more than ever we want to tell our story and give audiences the chance to see us live again.”
Come From Away features a book, music and lyrics by Irene Sankoff and David Hein and is directed by Christopher Ashley, with musical staging by Kelly Devine, music supervision and arrangements by Ian Eisendrath, scenic design by Beowulf Boritt, costume design by Toni-Leslie James, lighting design by Howell Binkley, sound design by Gareth Owen and hair design by David Brian Brown. Orchestrations are by August Eriksmoen and casting is by Pippa Ailion and Natalie Gallacher.
