Come from away

Yesterday evening I went to the dutch version of the musical Come from away.
This musical is based on the true story of how a sleepy Canedian town of 7000 people suddely had to give shelter to over 7000 strange people who got stucked there because the USA had closed their airspace on sept 11th 2001. For those who remember that day (and will probably never forget it), the USA was under attact and the world was in chaos.

I loved this musical because it tells us the events from an whole different point of vue. A society that comes together to help stranded en fightened passengers who stil do not have a clue of what really happend. The fear of the passengers, the willingness from the town people to help, the unfairness of how they treated anyone who looked slightly Arabien ... out of fear.
What strucked me most in this story is the simular reaction of people in general in this abolute crisis situation, even if they seem very different at the first glimp of apperance.

Although I am not a very Catholic person ( I do believe, but in my own simple way), one song touched me right into my heart. It is the song called 'Prayer'. It showed me that in these kind of moments, everybody (even the non-believers) pray. They all pray, in their own languages and to their own God.
It made me aware, ones again, that at the end of the day there is truely so much more that unites us, than the things that can possible divide us.
We are all human, we all get scared, we all grief, we all cry ... and at the end of the day we all pray.

So if you like musicals or just a good, heartwarming and true story ... I strongly recommend this musical.

I love musicals because they make things more human and if they talk about God they are better still a pity that I can't see it since I live in venezuela but thanks for sharing

is a performance with hopeful music, although unfortunately it does not have a translation, the music transmits a lot.
It's sad @De verhalenheks that only in moments like this does the human being bring out his best face with his neighbor, reaching out to him and helping him in his needs

It is true what your publication says, in the face of difficulties, we are all human and we turn to our own beliefs to pray for a welfare for all.

Yes, most of them are not racist but. In a crisis situation, we still look for what we know best and find deviating standards and forms suspicious.
