United States	M.N. Miller Ready Steady Cut	"What makes 'Come From Away' work, as a play, is its capacity for empathy and putting a premium on the human connection (…) Rating: ★★★½ (out of 5)"	POS
United States	Brian Lowry CNN	"A moving, brilliantly shot and staged spectacle (...) The cast is so uniformly good it's practically impossible to single anyone out"	POS
United States	Amy Amatangelo Paste Magazine	"There’s nothing quite like the experience of having a performance connect with you on a visceral level (...) Come From Away may be the best filmed version of a musical I have seen"	POS
United States	Alonso Duralde The Wrap	"Stirring, moving and funny (...) . It’s a story that provides hope without turning its eyes from despair"	POS
United States	Charles McNulty Los Angeles Times	"The screen version is less cinematically kinetic than the “Hamilton” movie but the theatrical envelope of the production is artfully maintained (...) You’re never for a minute unaware that you’re watching a Broadway show"	POS
United States	Boston Globe	"All drama asks you to suspend disbelief, but “Come From Away” asks you also to suspend cynicism, aiming to move and uplift you (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of 4)"	POS
