We can't stop watching this 360 view of Come From Away. Hope you enjoy it as much as we do.
Step on this Broadway stage for a 360° view of “Come From Away.”
The musical takes place just after #September11, when a small Newfoundland town welcomed thousands of stranded passengers whose flights were diverted after the terror attack. Tom Brokaw filed this story about “Come From Away” in March: http://nbcnews.to/2fbj6VJ
]]>We love to explore Newfoundland and Labrador and we're always excited when CFA's (come from away) also get to experience it either first hand or via amazing articles like this one from the The New York Times.
'You think a lot about moose in Newfoundland. You are frequently reminded of their hidden presence by silhouettes printed on yellow hazard signs. You are startled by their actual presence while speeding sleepily down remote stretches of road. They appear as burgers or steaks on the menu at local diners. But you don’t think of them as carpaccio — until you eat at Raymonds restaurant in St. John’s, the rugged, multicolored capital city, perched on the Canadian province’s east coast.'
]]>“It’s a rugged remoteness. The glacial-swept highlands conjure up fairy tales, the mighty fjords breed a difficulty of exploration that boasts an incredible sense of accomplishment,” said Andy Nichols, expert outdoor guide and owner of Gros Morne Outdoor Company. “To sum up the community here, it’s simple: It’s a place where no one locks their doors.”
Nearly 7,000 air passengers were suddenly rerouted to Gander, Newfoundland, moments after the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11. Here's how the small town stepped up in a big way. https://usat.ly/2vSx0TB

People have been exploring ‘The Rock’ for about 10,000 years, and they still come to discover the sights, sounds and tastes of this Atlantic province.

]]>There were tears and happy reunions as Come From Away, a musical based on the response of Newfoundlanders in the wake of the Sept. 11 attacks in the United States, formally debuted on Broadway Sunday night.

Below is one of our favourite excerpts but be sure to read the entire article.
'So you can’t call them “Newfies”, and you can’t call them Canadians, but they will let you call them Irish – unless their ancestors came from Devon, but those ones are easy to spot because they talk like people from Devon. The Irish talk like they came from Dungarvan. Their accents were preserved by the salt Atlantic air, in tiny isolated communities along the shore. It was a long time before they got roads.'
Lorna Crozier falls for Fogo Island (and her first iceberg)
We bite into 25,000 years of caught water and frozen light. It’s a fist-sized chunk scooped from the Atlantic, a tiny piece of the iceberg looming beside our boat like a dream born in the most faraway region of an arctic mind.
