The movie version of the Broadway phenomenon-level musical Come from Away has announced that it will go live on Apple TV+ on September 10, 2021, and a leading trailer will be released.
The film version is not a film adaptation, but a live musical is recorded and edited into a film, which is still directed by the film director Christopher Ashley. The cast remains unchanged. The launch of the film version allows audiences who cannot be there to watch it. Appreciate the audio-visual feast on this stage.
The story of Come from Away tells that after the terrorist attack on September 11, 2001, 38 planes were forced to land in the small town of Gander, Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada, and nearly 7,000 passengers were stranded in the small town. The residents of the small town received these strangers unreservedly. During the week, their relationship continued to change. From the embarrassment between strangers and strangers at first, to gradually put down their defenses, and finally support each other.
The stage of the whole play is minimal, but very accurate. The dance moves are completed by tables and chairs. Through the performance, the audience can imagine cabins, villages, houses, etc. When Come from Away was on tour, many audiences shed tears and gained warmth. It was widely acclaimed. The play won 7 nominations for the 71st Tony Awards and finally won the Best Musical Director Award.
