It’s been five years since the touring production of Come From Away awed Playhouse Square audiences. On Tuesday night, opening night for a short run at Connor Palace, it did it again.

The touching (sometimes funny) musical uses a multi-faceted cast to tell the story about what happened to thousands of passengers stranded in Canada when United States air traffic shut down after the 9/11 attacks.

 This production is directed by Daniel Goldstein (with musical staging by Richard J. Hinds), but still based on the Broadway original.

And yes, the cast is as impressive as ever (and even more inclusive). It’s clearly a team effort. Everyone is listed in the program as a specific character they are playing, but they all also play “others” so not only are plane passengers seen, so are townspeople.
