Set in a small Quebec town in the late-1920′s, this emotional drama follows the life and exploits of Celeste Beaumont, a talented young pianist who gains local celebrity at the town movie theater for her gifts as a silent film pianist. Awkward Pierre Blaudell is her biggest fan and eventually marries her. Shortly after this she bears his son, Pierre, who joins the army. She insists on joining him at the base and his meddlesome, snooty parents insist she give them her son. Pierre is killed in the war, and Celeste flees to New York where she finds steady employment as a jazz pianist. She finds a life-long companion with a black musician and chronicles her experiences in a diary that she passes on to her son after he grows up. Her son becomes a painter and once his own son, Antoine, is grown, reads him the story of Celeste, the youth’s grandmother. Intrigued, Antoine heads to the Big Apple in hopes of finding her.
This movie is an emotional drama about how Antoine, played beautifully by François Méthé, discovers the details of his heritage. This film won many awards in Canada and at Cannes in 1988. François Méthé, who was about 11-years-old, never acted again after this movie.
From IMDb:
A quiet painter, separated from his wife for a year, receives a suitcase in the mail from his mother, whom he hasn’t seen since infancy. He believes she abandoned him to his wealthy, paternal grandparents. The suitcase contains mementos and a diary, a long letter to him, written over the years, with details of her youth, her first job as a pianist at a cinema, the coming of talkies, her marriage, and how he came to live with his grandparents. As he reads through the materials and her story comes to life, his son Antoine, who’s about 10 or 12, tries to break through his father’s silence and sorrow by taking matters into his own hands.
看剧好幸福 me and the sky好好听 本来20年能在剧场见的我好恨啊
看之前甚至不知道这是一部关于911的歌舞剧，前面还在想怎么会有这么奇怪的故事设定（籍籍无名的小镇突然迎来大量飞机和数千名旅客），反应过来后十分佩服这个“在别处”的视角。
关于911的并不鲜为人知的另一面，足够温馨
非常美式正确的剧，Me and Sky里面 'Be Patient. Just see what happens.'
它在有限的演员身上安放两三个角色，配合简单的道具，从而塑造不同的群像，搭建出丰富的场景，但又并不让观众觉得混乱，很多简单的转场效果极佳。
能支持人坚持，继续下去的，一定是关怀，各方面都很优秀的一部作品
可惜因为疫情错过了现场观看的机会 这个角度切入这个故事的改编 真的让人无法释怀
人可以做五天newfoundlander，所以我们还活着吧
So much to be consoled as to console, to be understood as to understand ,to be loved as to love with all my soul
第一次知道这个剧是网易云推荐了一段女机长的自白的唱段，从一路成长的热血沸腾到她听到911消息的落寞，让听者也跟着一路情绪过山车。后来看了录像的完整版本也觉得小镇居民，各个乘客很可爱。守望互助大抵如此了吧。刚看到come from away开始疫情后的线下售票了，可以规划一下了！
终于看完了这版。几度流泪。我将永远相信残酷现世中存在的人性文明之光。
19年买了票，20年全部演出取消，21年终于看到，大家都是来自远方，也欢迎远方。
911的20周年，因疫情擦肩而过的Come from away巡演，在此时完成。我还去查了一下纽芬兰岛的位置。希望能早日回归原版剧场
911过后不得不临时停靠在一个小岛上的众多航班，7000多个乘客和9000多个小岛居民的相知相处故事。大难来临造就的意外邂逅，各种语言、宗教、文化，甚至物种的碰撞，很多幽默和感动。
百老汇音乐剧出的官方电影，超级震撼，这种舞台音乐剧非常耗费演员体力，考验专业台词功底技术。这版群舞卡点卡的这么齐，绝对不是一朝一夕可以达成的，一人饰演N个角色，不仅台词不同，说话方式也要发生变化，难度系数也非同一般，除了专业技术外，这个剧本也是非常赞的。
哭傻了，the door’s always open in Newfoundland, welcome to the rock!
编排得太好了。911事件对美利坚民族来说意义非凡，由此诞生的这部作品适合全世界观看。舞台上演员在个人形象和社群形象之间灵活转换，女性、性少数群体、少数族裔、不同宗教在这里汇集。而人性的力量核心从未改变，带我们离开黑暗，带我们离开灾难。致离开的人们，你们从未真正离开。冰球场是世界上最大的步入式冰箱、几十台电话、开放图书馆专供人做宗教祷告、收容动物……我看到了人道的光辉。“不必找寻。不求得到更多安慰，但求安慰别人。不求被理解，但求理解他人。我不求被爱，但求全心全意地爱。”
关于911的并不鲜为人知的另一面，足够温馨
