The Darlington Operatic Society has officially revealed the cast for its upcoming production of 'Come From Away', the highly acclaimed musical. This inspiring show is set to run at the Darlington Hippodrome from October 22 to November 1.
'Come From Away' tells the remarkable true story of 7,000 airline passengers who found themselves unexpectedly grounded in Gander, Newfoundland, in the wake of the 9/11 attacks. The musical beautifully portrays the extraordinary compassion and humanity shown by the residents of this small Canadian town as they welcomed and supported the stranded travelers.
Director Jo Hand expressed immense enthusiasm for the ensemble: "We are absolutely delighted with the exceptional talent we’ve brought together for this show. The casting process was incredibly competitive, and we were moved by the passion and dedication of every performer. We can't wait to begin bringing this story to life."
The cast features talented individuals such as Charlotte Sisson, Emma Louise Dickinson, Jenni Wilkinson, Sarah Harland, and Lucy Adams, among others. Due to the outstanding quality of auditions, some roles will be double-cast, ensuring more performers have the opportunity to participate in the ten-night run.
Steven Hood, the musical director, commented on the show's score: "The score of 'Come From Away' is rich with emotion and energy. Our cast is already proving themselves more than capable of delivering the vocal and musical demands of this extraordinary show."
