It’s hard to overestimate how powerfully a musical set in Gander, Canada, connected with a Chicago audience Wednesday night.
It had something to do with the potency of our collective memory of Sept. 11, 2001, but surely just as much with the isolation we all feel a consequence of the pandemic. And the fear and dislocation from watching Russian tanks roll down highways toward Ukraine.
But “Come From Away” doesn’t feel about just that anymore. It’s become more of a musical portrait of possibility, of what the world could be, of peace rather than war, of tolerance rather than accusation, of aid given rather than fault critiqued. When I’ve reviewed this relentlessly good-humored show before, I’ve dropped in a few caveats about limitations of form or looseness of structure. Not this time.
