Apple Shares Trailer for Broadway Musical 'Come From Away'

[MacRumors]

Apple has shared a trailer for the original film "Come From Away," which is set to debut on September 10, as an unlisted video on the Apple TV YouTube channel.

Directed by Christopher Ashley, who directed the original Broadway production, Come From Away is a recording of the Tony Award-winning Broadway musical of the same name that was filmed live at the Gerald Schoenfeld Theater in New York City.

The musical centers on the true story of when 38 flights were grounded in Gander, Newfoundland, leaving 7,000 passengers in a small Canadian town after flights into the United States were briefly suspended in 2001.

"Come From Away" tells the story of 7,000 people stranded in the small town of Gander, Newfoundland after all flights into the US are grounded on September 11, 2001. As the people of Newfoundland graciously welcome the "come from aways" into their community in the aftermath, the passengers and locals alike process what's happened while finding love, laughter and new hope in the unlikely and lasting bonds that they forge.

Apple said earlier this year that the live performance of Come From Away was filmed in May with an audience of 9/11 survivors and front-line workers.

Come From Away premieres exclusively on Apple TV+ on Friday, September 10. "The Problem With Jon Stewart," "9/11: Inside the President's War Room," "The Morning Show" Season 2, and "Foundation" are also set to arrive next month.

Can’t wait to watch it.

 

[Dorv]

One of my all time favorite shows. Looking forward to watching it at home.

 

[codewrangler]

That still, reminds me of the Windows 95 launch...LOL

 

[dwaltwhit]

Is it sung through like hamilton or is it a play with singing like music man?

 

[Mykbibby]

I am not the target demographic

 

[PieTunes]

Looking forward to this. The tour was supposed to come to town last year but then the pandemic happened. Been listening to the cast album for years. Good music and a good story.

 

[svish]

Will be watching it

Is it sung through like hamilton or is it a play with singing like music man?

No it's not sung through in the traditional sense like Les Miserables or Miss Saigon, but it is mostly the company singing with interspersed lines of dialogue.

This is great for AppleTV+. I hope we get more like it. There are so many shows I don't have a chance to see other than like this. And Shmigadoon didn't do it for me.

 

[Klososky]

Very excited this, and so happy that Apple was able to pull a lot of the original cast together after all these years!

 

[geekmommy4]

I saw this on Broadway. It's fantastic! Brings back the emotions of the time, both the bad and poignant feel of the relationships that formed between strangers.

 

[Shanghaichica]

I'll watch this. Looks good.

I am not the target demographic

I didn't think I was either, but ended up liking it quite a bit. Much better than the other theatrical musicals I've seen in the past decade or so.

We saw this Teaser Banner last night before watching CODA (awesome film, btw) and had never heard of this. it is interesting they have a broadway-style show on ATV+

 

[topdrawer]

did they show any for the good parts?

 

[farewelwilliams]

musicals are boring. can never get into it.

one of my favorite animated movies as a kid was Land Before Time because it had ZERO sing alongs. the sequels screwed that up.

 

[EugW]

Saw the play in Toronto., and it was great!

Looking forward to it on TV.

 

[canonical]

My goodness I found that irritating

My goodness I found that irritating

Me too. I think they are out of material.

 

[cmaier]

Can’t wait to watch it.

Weird. I was pretty sure you’d have something negative to say.

 

[kesenwangs]

I am not the target demographic

That’s okay, that’s why there’s tons of other content on Apple TV for you to watch or not watch.

 

[orbital~debris]

I am not the target demographic

But you know you don't have to be defined by that, right?
You can enjoy things from outside the box you're in/people put you in 🙂

Apple said earlier this year that the live performance of Come From Away was filmed in May with an audience of 9/11 survivors and front-line workers.

After watching the trailer, 9/11 will now be the second worst thing that happened to them.

This looks awful
