“I had goosebumps — and then goosebumps on my goosebumps.”

From Maya Drake’s stunning professional debut as Ali to Kennedy Caughell’s jaw-dropping vocals on Pawn It All, every note and every move hits deep. The choreography by Camille A. Brown is electric, the cast is perfection, and Alicia Keys’ songbook fuels it all with soul and fire.

I'll be honest, I walked into Weathervane Playhouse's production of Come from Away with serious concerns. As one of my all-time favorite shows, I wasn't sure a local theater could do it justice. I'm thrilled to say I was completely wrong. This cast blew me away and reminded me once…
