值此 9/11 25周年之际，值此美加大打贸易战之际，值此床痞扬言要吞并加拿大之际，正好这部音乐剧来我居住的城市上演。我已经买好票，下周三去看。

在这里替这个剧做个广告。

真希望那些遵循伟大领袖床痞的教导而使劲踩踏加拿大的黄川粉们，也能去看看，去洗涤一下被粉所遮蔽的眼和心。

Come from Away is a musical, with book, music and lyrics by Irene Sankoff and David Hein. It is based on the events in the Newfoundland town of Gander during the week following the September 11 attacks, when 38 planes, carrying approximately 7,000 passengers, were ordered to land unexpectedly at Gander International Airport. The characters in the musical are based on actual Gander residents and the stranded travelers they housed and fed.^[1]
