Come From Away: Welcome to the Rock: An Inside Look… von Irene Sankoff
This is such a wonderful look at how the musical developed! I loved seeing actors side by side with the people they portrayed. I also had a lot of fun listening to the soundtrack while I read along with the lyrics. Reading this made me want to go see the show again.
Re-read this after finally getting to see the filmed version of the show (and heartbroken that the Toronto production is being forced to close, which means I've missed every chance to see it live). Cool to read the first time but even better after seeing the staging. Thrilled this show has been documented.
I absolutely loved this musical when I saw it in NYC in 2018. It was heartwarming, funny, and just a beautiful story of connection in the midst of tragedy. This book chronicles the process of bringing that story to the stage. For anyone who loves the musical, I would recommend the book. There are stories from the creators, the original cast members, and even responses from the real people who saw themselves portrayed on stage. I loved every second of it.
I picked this up after seeing (and loving) the musical. The book provides the whole libretto (including some deleted passages and songs) with side notes from the writers. Interspersed, there are articles about the actual history, the story of how the show was put together, and interviews with cast members and the real life people that inspired the characters. I found it fascinating to read. One thing I wish had been included was more breakdown of how the roles are divided between the actors.
