Elle fera alors un pas de côté, afin de nous emmener voyager dans son monde à elle : un monde fait d'absurde et d'étrange, de légèreté et d'émotion. Un monde bucolique peuplé de personnages imprévisibles, où la féérie est petit à petit mise à mal par le temps qui s'écoule, inéluctablement.

Pris dans la tempête, ils échouent sur une île déserte, en plein océan Pacifique. Ingénieux, persévérants, les cinq compagnons, pourtant privés de tout, ne tardent pas à s'organiser, à vivre presque normalement. D'ailleurs, l'île, qu'ils baptisent du nom de Lincoln, offre des ressources admirables et tout à fait inattendues. Mais une série de faits inexplicables, des coïncidences troublantes les obligent à croire à la présence d'une puissance mystérieuse qui les épie sans cesse et conduit leur destinée, leur imposant sa volonté par des voies détournées, intervenant pour les sauver aux moments critiques...

Though music has been a part of theatrical arts since ancient times, modern Western musical theatre was born in America. Josh Kreitzman, my guest today, argues that musicals are the best art form, and I'm inclined to agree with him. How often do you get to witness art as it is happening and be a part of its creation with a room of people? Musicals are fully body sensory experience and the stories they tell have always been a reflection of the triumphs and heartbreaks of life. Music is a language beyond borders—how better to capture the heart and soul of our times? In this episode, we discuss Prayer from Come From Away by Irene Sankoff and David Hein. The musical tells the real life story of the Newfoundland town of Gander during the week following the September 11th attacks when 7,000 passengers were ordered to land unexpectedly at Gander International Airport. We discuss the power of musicals, the lasting effects of grief and trauma (even when we get up to go to work the next morning), the difference between being in an audience and being a viewer, and how tragedy can bring good. See the links to the videos of the songs we discuss at the shownotes. 

Sunday was the twenty-first anniversary of 9/11. The day brought solemn ceremonies of remembrance for the thousands lost on that tragic day in 2001. It was also a time to remember the outpouring of support and assistance from residents of Newfoundland and Labrador to stranded airline passengers in several communities. The travelers were grounded when U.S. airspace was closed. David Hein and Irene Sankoff are the writers of the musical Come From Away, and they have some special events planned for Gander this week.

Come From Away  is called Broadway's 100-minute feel good sensation, and for good reason. Now in its 6th year at the Schoenfeld Theatre, this Tony Award-winning musical tells the true story of the five days following September 11, 2001 in Gander, New Foundland where 7,000 stranded passengers were met with overwhelming human kindness in their time of need. This week, authors Irene Sankoff and David Hein join Rabbi Pont for a conversation about how the show came to be and the impact that this spectacular show has had on them, on the artists who brought it to life, and the millions of people who have seen the show worldwide.

Es ging weiter mit On Stage – Off Stage! Zur (vorerst?) letzten Folge von On Stage – Off Stage war unter Thema "Repertoire(bildung) im Musical". Nachdem wir in den anderen Folgen immer wieder davon gesprochen haben, welche abgenudeleten Shows wir nicht mehr auf den Spielplänen sehen wollen, wollten wir uns mal dem Thema darüber nähern, welche Shows wir eigentlich sehen wollen! Und darüber hinaus: Wie könnte denn ein Musicalrepertoire hier bei uns in Deutschland überhaupt entstehen, das sich nicht nur auf ein paar wenige (altbekannte) Shows beschränkt? Und: Aus welchen Stoffen sollten denn heutzutage Musicals geschrieben sein? Darf man "veraltete" Musicals überhaupt noch zur Aufführung bringen, wenn ja, wie? Etc... Auf jeden Fall ist eins klar: Das wird ein langer Prozess!! Erwähnt haben wir u.a. folgende Shows: - "The last five years" und "Bridges of Madison County"Jason Robert Brown - "Come from away" Irene Sankoff and David Hein - "Hadestown" Anaïs Mitchel Video der Woche: A Musical aus Something Rotten! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1KFNc...

David Hein and Irene Sankoff, the husband-and-wife writing team behind Broadway hit musical Come From Away tell us why these stories move us.

This is the second part of my recent conversation with Irene Sankoff & David Hein -- the dynamic writing team and married couple that created the international smash hit musical Come From Away. Five productions of Come From Away have recently reopened around the world: Broadway, Toronto, London, Sydney and on tour across America. A new Dutch production has just opened, as well, and a live filmed version of the show is streaming on Apple TV+. On the previous episode Irene and David related how they got hooked on musicals, and how they went from their first show based on a true story -- My Mother's Lesbian Jewish Wiccan Wedding -- to deciding to create a musical based on the real life events that happened in the small town of Gander, Newfoundland in the days following 9/11. They also described what it was like to attend the 10th Anniversary of the events in Gander and then begin to transform the stories they heard there into a musical during an early workshop production at The Canadian Music Theatre Project at Sheridan College. We also explored the classic Broadway shows that influenced and inspired the writing of their book, music, and lyrics for Come From Away. If you missed part one you may want to go back and catch up on that episode before you listen to this one. Today we look at the extensive development process that CFA went through on its journey to Broadway - including a workshop in Seattle, a series of productions at the La Jolla Playhouse, The Seattle Rep, Ford's Theater in DC. and the Royal Alexandra Theatre in Toronto, as well as a thrilling concert presentation in Gander where it all began.  Back in 2015, I served as the Executive Producer and Artistic Director of The 5th Avenue Theatre in Seattle and, as such, I had the great pleasure of co-producing that original Seattle workshop of Come From Away. This was the first time that the show's Tony award winning director Christopher Ashley and choreographer, Kelly Devine began to work on the show -- and it was great fun to recall that exciting experience with Irene and David. Come From Away is the fifth musical to originate in Canada and eventually open on Broadway.  The first was 1974's Rockabye Hamlet with book, music and lyrics by Cliff Jones. This rock musical adaptation of Shakespeare was originally titled Kronborg 1582 and was well received, first as a radio series on the CBC, and then at the Charlottetown Theatre Festival and on tour in Canada, before being retitled and opening on Broadway with Gower Champion as the director. It became a legendary flop and closed after 7 performances. Next, in 1980 came the intimate and engaging Billy Bishop Goes To War written by John McLachlan Gray the show featured one actor to playing18 different roles to tell the story of real life Canadian fighter pilot Billy Bishop during the first World War. This show nearly doubled the run of Rockabye Hamlet closing after 12 performances. However, over the next ten years Billy Bishop Goes To War received scores of productions at theaters all across North America.  The Story Of My Life, with music and lyrics by Neil Bartram and book by Brian Hill, opened on Broadway in 2009. Unfortunately, it had an even shorter run than either of the previous two Canadian shows. However, one year earlier, a group of Canadian writers finally scored a significant hit with The Drowsy Chaperone – book by Bob Martin and Don McKellar, and music and lyrics by Lisa Lambert & Greg Morrison. This delightful show opened on Broadway in 2008, received Tony Awards for Best Book and Best Original Score, and ran for 674 performances.   There have been a few other Canadian writers that found success on Broadway – Galt McDermott being the most famous of them – but that was with shows that originated in the US.   Learn more about your ad choices.

My guests today are Irene Sankoff & David Hein – the dynamic writing team and married couple that created the giant international smash hit musical Come From Away. Five productions of Come From Away have recently reopened around the world: Broadway, Toronto, London, Sydney and on tour across America. A live filmed version of the show is also streaming on Apple TV+. Irene and David won the 2019 Olivier Award and were nominated for the 2018 Grammy Award and the 2017 Tony Award for their book and score for Come From Away, with the show itself winning the 2019 Olivier Award for Best Musical, three 2017 Dora Mavor Moore Awards, four Helen Hayes Awards, five Outer Critics Circle Awards and three Drama Desk Awards including Best Musical. David and Irene were also the recipients of the 2017 Outer Critics Circle and Drama Desk awards for Best Book. A live filmed version of Come From Away is now streaming on Apple TV+. Their first show, My Mother's Lesbian Jewish Wiccan Wedding (based on David's mother's true story) was produced by Mirvish Productions in Toronto and played and won Best Musical awards across North America, with Sankoff and Hein performing in most productions. They are currently working on projects with Disney, Warner Bros. and Netflix. Irene and David are the recipients of the Good Neighbour Award from the Four Freedoms Park Conservancy and the Meritorious Service Cross of Canada. They are proud members of the Dramatists Guild, Writer's Guild East and ASCAP. @sankoffandhein In this conversation we explore the how Come From Away fits into the history of the Broadway musical – which musical theater writers from the past influenced Irene and David, and what classic shows inspired them. And we will look back at their first musical which has the memorable title: My Mother's Lesbian Jewish Wiccan Wedding. But first I wanted to find out how they got started down this path in the first place.     Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Today we're speaking with the creators of "Come From Away," the Tony Award-winning Broadway show, and the latest to get a streaming release, this time on Apple TV+. Joining us are the creators and writers of the book, music, and lyrics, David Hein and Irene Sankoff, and director Christopher Ashley. The show is set in the week following the September 11 attacks and tells the true story of what transpired when 38 planes were ordered to land unexpectedly in the small town of Gander, Newfoundland when the US unexpectedly closed its airspace. The characters in the musical are based on real Gander residents as well as some of the 7,000 stranded travelers they housed and fed. If this sounds like a big story, that's because it is. And just how do you pare that down into a tight, Broadway show, with no intermission? It was a challenge: "I feel like one of the first questions you ask about a musical or a film or a play is, "who's the lead?" And ["Come From Away"] doesn't have one. It's got twelve actors playing hundreds and thousands of people. So its emotional event is so spread out. But one of the things we do have that kind of replaces that is the delight of twelve actors transforming. And you come to know those twelve, even despite the fact that they're gonna play many different parts. So the pleasure in theatrical and acting transformation gives us a lot of juice that you wouldn't have with just a lead. And also, there's no villain! But everybody does have this shared trauma around 9/11, if you were old enough to have lived through it. And how you deal with that trauma turns out to be the problem that everyone's trying to solve." — Christopher Ashley, Director, "Come From Away" The musical premiered on Broadway in 2017 and was nominated for seven Tony awards, including Best Musical, Book, and Score, and Christopher Ashley won the Tony for Best Direction.

Hoy traemos el musical "COME FROM AWAY" que ha conseguido entre varios premios el Tony a la mejor dirección de un musical, el Drama Desk, el Outer Critics Circle y el Olivier al mejor musical. La historia ha sabido dar forma en menos de dos horas a varias historias reales de unos pasajeros que vivieron una situación extrema a causa de los atentados del 11 de Septiembre de 2001. Contra lo que pudiera parecer en un principio, no es para nada una historia deprimente que se centra en la catástrofe y el terror de los atentados, sino que nos muestra la grandeza del ser humano que ante una situación extrema, sabe reaccionar derrochando humanidad, apoyo y generosidad, algo que marcó para siempre la historia de los habitantes de Gander, como la de los tripulantes y pasajeros de los 38 vuelos que se vieron obligados a aterrizar y permanecer allí durante casi cinco días, en una ciudad de 10.000 habitantes que vio casi doblada su población al tener que atender a cerca de 7.000 personas. La sencillez de la propuesta escénica como el hecho de que tantas historias y personajes se pudieran poner sobre un escenario es lo que más llama la atención de este musical. Son suficientes una docena de actores que se desdoblan en múltiples personajes para contarnos la historia que adaptaron Irene Sankoff y David Hein, de entre las muchas entrevistas recogidas entre los pasajeros de aquellos vuelos.

If you’re a Broadway fan (or have been ANYWHERE near a theater in the last couple years), you’ve likely heard about Come From Away—the Tony-award-winning smash hit musical with a story firmly rooted in generations of aviation history. On September 11, 2001, 38 commercial airliners were diverted out of US air space to a small town with a big airport called Gander, Newfoundland. Come From Away puts a spotlight on Beverley Bass, American Airlines’ first woman Captain who commanded one of the aircraft. Nick sits down with Beverley to hear the story of her incredible career firsthand, and Emily talks to Come from Away’s producers, Irene Sankoff and David Hein, to learn how they were inspired to write an entire musical about the biggest aviation hub you’ve likely never heard of. Early aviation history, pioneering pilots, and one community’s story of unity on a day of infamy—there’s a lot going on in this episode (but still no intermission).

HFF Ray talks with Actor Kevin Carolan & Former Gander Mayor Claude Elliott about the Broadway At The Hobby Center production of Come From Away. Come From Away tells the remarkable true story of 7,000 stranded passengers and the small town in Newfoundland that welcomed them. On September 11, 2001 the world stopped. On September 12, their stories moved all of us. Every character is inspired by real people based on interviews. You may hear 9/11, but COME FROM AWAY is a story of 9/12, 2001. Written by Irene Sankoff and David Hein (husband-and-wife Canadian writing team).Come From Away is playing at The Hobby Center March 3rd - March 8th.

On Thursdays here on Midday, our theater critic, J. Wynn Rousuck, reviews all things theatrical throughout the region. Today, instead of a review, we bring you an interview Judy conducted earlier this month with Canadian playwrights David Hein and Irene Sankoff, the married co-creators of the award-winning show, Come From Away. The couple spoke with Judy by phone from New York City.Their show was inspired by real-life events in the small Newfoundland community of Gander, immediately following the September 11, 2001 series of airborne terrorist attacks in the United States. Those attacks prompted the closure of US airspace and the diversion of all US-bound airline flights. Thirty-eight commercial jetliners were forced to land in Gander, stranding nearly 7000 passengers in the tiny coastal community for the better part of a week. The North American touring production of this hit Broadway musical is at the Hippodrome Theater here in Baltimore through Sunday, April 28.

This week we revisit Come From Away as Nick chats to the cast members - and those whom the cast members portrayed - at a press event for the musical held at the beautiful Canadian Embassy in London.  Hear from Rachel Tucker, Mary Doherty, Cat Simmons, Clive Carter and the show's composing and lyricist team Irene Sankoff and David Hein.   Come From Away is playing at the Pheonix Theatre in London.    

In this week's Chops, we're talking new musical Come From Away. Set on September 11, 2001, and the days afterwards, it tells the tale of what happened in the town of Gander, Canada, where 38 inbound planes were rerouted after America closed its airspace in the wake of the attacks. Hannah managed to grab some time with co-creator Irene Sankoff to talk about a true story full of comedy, tragedy, love and fear. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

From the Canadian Jewish writing team Irene Sankoff and David Hein, Come From Away tells the incredible true story of how the residents of Gander, Newfoundland, welcomed the passengers of planes from around the world grounded by the 9/11 attacks, including a stranded rabbi from London. As the show arrives in London via Dublin this January, the real life rabbi – Leivi Sudak of Edgware Lubavitch – tells Judi Herman the full story of the welcome with which he was blessed in Gander, and the support he in turn was able to bring to other passengers and to a Holocaust survivor who had made his home in Gander.His story is in two parts and both share wonderful instances of the kindness of Gander’s residents. The first ends on a bit of a cliff hanger, while in the second listeners will find out how a fellow passenger, an Israeli Jewish Buddhist, ended up peeling potatoes with Rabbi Sudak to help prepare a Shabbat meal. Discover kosher wine in a Gander supermarket, hear the remarkable story of that Holocaust survivor, and the nail-biting story of how Rabbi Sudak made New York in time for Rosh Hashanah thanks to a 500-mile dash by an extraordinary Gander couple.Come From Away runs Wednesday 30 January – Saturday 25 May. 7.30pm, 2.30pm (Wed & Sat only).

  Singer/Actor Astrid Van Wieren is joining us from New York on Cue To Cue today! Astrid originated the role of Beulah in the cast of Come From Away that is now playing on Broadway and has been received with critical acclaim and touching the hearts of audiences from around the world. I saw it here when it played in Toronto and instantly fell in love with pretty much everything about the show. The care that Irene Sankoff and David Hein took with the storytelling, the cast, the simplistic genius of the set and brilliant direction of Christopher Ashley… I could go on. It was one of those rare experiences after a show where I felt, inspired, changed, proud and excited because I believe pretty much everyone who saw this show was thinking what I was thinking. This is going to blow up!! It did.   Astrid is bringing her whole heart today’s episode. She is sharing the rollercoaster it has been to be a part of Come From Away from the beginning to Broadway. The insecure moments and the moments they have made her heart explode with joy. During our converting the word inspiration kept popping up and I realized about halfway through the podcast that Astrid is someone who looks for inspiration. I asked her if that has been one of the keys to staying in the entertainment industry and she confirmed that we get what we look for. She went on to say with a laugh, “A good cup of coffee can inspire me sometimes.” Astrid drives home, for me, that it is our responsibility as an artist to look for inspiration. Not that we don’t have down days but when you are looking to be inspired the world will move you in ways you never expected.   Grab a beverage of your choice and enjoy!   In this episode:   What she believes the best creative ideas are a result of How living with abundance can be just as challenging as living with scarcity How to avoid what Astrid calls “gerbil brain” What she has realized about broadway since she has started performing there.

Hey firecrackers! Where in the world are YOU!? Are you also in a freezing cold climate like I am? ‘Cause it’s pretty chilly up here in Toronto and I’m doing whatever I can to stay warm until I’m back in LA! Let me know what you do to stay warm over social media! Speaking of cold climates (yes, we’re using this as a transition, haha!) here’s the second episode from my trip to New York City! I sat down with Irene Sankoff, who has been doing incredible things in the world of theatre for quite some time now. She was one of the originators of “My Mother’s Lesbian Jewish Wiccan Wedding” which was a huge hit in Fringe and in the Mirvish theatres in Toronto. Now, the play she co-creater with her husband David, “Come From Away” is on Broadway! I’ve known Irene for some time now, through the Second City community and what not, but getting to sit down with her for this interview and talk all about her journey was more than a treat. I hope you enjoy this one as much as I did, firecrackers! 

Welcome to The Rock! This week, we're tackling the 2017 smash hit Come From Away! When American airspace was shut down on September 11, 2011, 38 planes carrying nearly 7,000 passengers were forced to land in Gander, Newfoundland. For five days, the residents of the town took care of these strangers, Come From Aways as they were called. 10 years later, writers Irene Sankoff and David Hein went to Gander to meet the real-life people behind this now famous act of human kindness, and what resulted was this heartwarming musical.  For this episode, we too talk to some of the real-life people including Claude Elilott, the Mayor of Gander then and now, and Captain Beverley Bass, whose pioneering life story is told in the show-stopping song "Me and the Sky." We also chat with Sankoff and Hein, Tony-winning director Christopher Ashley, actors Jenn Colella and Caesar Samayoa, the producers, scenic designer and more as we chart the musical's journey from a Canadian college workshop to Tony-nominated hit. 

Hey firecrackers! First of all, I want to thank everyone who has been writing, tweeting, or commenting on our posts talking about the show and about the guests that have inspired you! We’re so happy that you are connecting with this podcast, our team works very hard to bring it to life and it means the world to us that you’re tuning in! Next up, we have Astrid Van Wieren from the Broadway musical “Come From Away”! I travelled to New York for this one and I want to talk about the idea of getting lost in a new city. While I was down there, I carved out some time and just hit the town and explored. It got me thinking a lot about those who move to a new city, or even a new country. So, I’m curious, for those of you whom have relocated in your life, how did you adjust to the new environment? How did you go about rebuilding your community? I’d love to keep this conversation up, please e-mail, tweet, or comment and tell me your stories! Anyway, this trip to NYC was amazing, I got to catch the show and then sit down with not only Astrid, but the creator, Irene Sankoff (whose episode will be next!). Astrid is incredible, we talked all about her life, career, and this incredible musical, if you can get down to NYC, I definitely recommend you go see “Come From Away”! Enjoy this one, firecrackers! 

Irene Sankoff and David Hein are a Canadian librettist and composer-lyricist couple, best known for co-writing the Broadway musical Come From Away. After spending several years studying and working in New York the couple returned to Toronto where Hein wrote a song, "My Mother's Lesbian Jewish Wiccan Wedding", about his mother and her later life partner. Sankoff and Hein expanded the song into a play that became a hit at the Toronto Fringe Festival in 2009 and then picked up by Mirvish Productions for a run at Toronto's Panasonic Theatre before touring Canada. As a result of My Mother’s Lesbian Jewish Wiccan Wedding's success, theatre producer Michael Rubinoff approached Hein and Sankoff with his idea about a show based on Operation Yellow Ribbon in which residents of Gander, Newfoundland, housed 7,000 airline passengers who had been stranded at Gander Airport as a result of the grounding of all North American air flights following the September 11 attacks. The couple visited Gander in 2011 during the 10-year reunion of passengers and locals, and subsequently wrote Come from Away based on the stories they learned there. Listen in to hear them talk about… Why they became musical theater writers solely to spend more time together. The Rules they have as a writing team to make sure they stay married…and stay writing together (these are worth the price of this podcast alone!). How to stand up for your script against big time Broadway veterans when you’re a rookie, and its importance to your show’s success. Why they never thought that Come From Away would play Broadway, and how that attitude helped get the show here. The importance of a day job as you’re on your way to write for the theater… or do anything in the theater!
