Review by Abbe Shields.
What an absolutely fantastic production of Come From Away! There's always a worry when seeing a show based on true events but from start to finish, the cast brought this incredibly moving story to life with such passion, energy and heart. Such a heartwarming, emotional show, full of laughter, tears and some truly special moments.
The use of the chorus helped add so much depth and atmosphere to the storytelling and brought the different situations to life. The choreography was also brilliant, really well thought out and adding another dimension to the whole production.
It's amazing how a show with such a small cast can tell so many stories and make you feel so connected to every character. The principal cast handled the quick changes between their multiple characters extremely well and their vocals shone through in all the songs with my personal favourites being 'Welcome to the Rock' and 'In the bar/Heave away'.
You could see the hard work, dedication and love that had gone into putting this production together. A massive well done to everyone on stage and behind the scenes. Amateur theatre is no small achievement, and you should all be incredibly proud of what you've created.
A show that reminds us of the kindness of strangers, the power of community and how much good there is in people.
If you get the chance to see it, do yourself a favour and go! A truly special production on at the Abbey Theatre, Nuneaton until Saturday 14 November.
