Apple TV+ has announced that it will premiere the filmed version of the La Jolla Playhouse-born musical “Come From Away” on Sept. 10, the day before the 20th anniversary of the 9/11 tragedies that inspired the show.
Last fall, actors from the Broadway production reassembled on the empty Gerald Schoenfeld Theatre in Manhattan to film a live-capture performance of the show. The film production was directed by its Tony Award-winning director Christopher Ashley, who is artistic director at La Jolla Playhouse, where the musical premiered in 2015.
Co-written by the Canadian team of Irene Sankoff and David Hein, “Come From Away” is based on the true story of how residents in a small town in Newfoundland cared for and sheltered more than 7,000 stranded airline passengers whose planes were grounded there for days in the aftermath of the terror attacks on Sept. 11, 2001.
Seven of the musical’s original Broadway cast members, including Tony-nominated star Jenn Colella, appear in the film. Meanwhile, the Broadway production of “Come From Away” reopens on Sept. 21. It is also a part of Broadway San Diego’s upcoming season — rescheduled from 2020 — with a May 17-22, 2022, run date locally.
