Aww no I havnt...please tell us how it went...very interested...x

In my opinion, this show was a masterpiece.  I was riveted from the first rousing opening musical number till the very last second. It was an incredibly moving story about the small town of Gander, Newfoundland and surrounding communities who opened their homes and their hearts to over 7,000 airline passengers from all over the world who were diverted to the Gander airport when US airspace was closed because of the terrorist attacks of 9/11.  The staging was brilliant, the music was masterful, the performances superb.  It did win the Tony for best direction of a musical but I'm surprised you don't hear more about it.  If you have a chance to see it, go!  

This sounds amazing..i will definitely keep a watchful eye ,to see if it arrives here..emotional I'm sure...

Thanks PT...

Dem people in Gander 'r sum awful nice! (Newfie accent der boys)

 

Honestly, in Canada .... the further east you go, the nicer the people are. They will accept complete strangers into the homes and give you the shirt off their backs  no questions asked and no expectation of repayment of any kind.

 

They would then bid you goodbye by asking you " So, when you comin' home again?"

That's exactly what the show portrayed and in real life, people maintained relationships with the Gander people and many even went back on the 10th anniversary.
