The Performers Podcast


Mar 29, 2017

Irene Sankoff and David Hein are the co-writers of the hit Broadway show "Come From Away."

We talk about how Irene and David interviewed people to create the foundation for the musical.

They explain the development process, with theatre students at The Canadian Music Theatre Project, which is part of the Sheridan College Music Theatre Performance Program. They also worked with Goodspeed Musicals, a non-profit organization dedicated to musical theater based in Connecticut.

Come From Away is a perfect intersection of David's love of folk music and Irene's love of Broadway musicals.
