This is proof of how much better an interview can be when the reporter is genuinely interested in the subject matter. Very well done
This was an excellent interview. She is truly in love with this show
100%.
This show started out as a production at Sheridan community college in Toronto and made it to Broadway
I love how the host seemed so excited to be doing this interview and really knowing her stuff. I was just getting excited from watching her! She was really in tune to the play which made this video so much enjoyable!
Jenn gives off such a warm and genuine vibe, love watching her answer questions almost as much as I love watching her act and sing.
The whole cast are amazing but there's something about this actress that she just stands out, I don't know why!
I think she's wonderful
Come from away is the most magical and inspirational show ever. Even most of the cast members never left the show. I cry every time I hear just the soundtrack. Thank you for making this show happen!
"Look for the helpers." Laura quotes Fred Rogers. That's what Come From Away is about. I saw it in Detroit last night, and I can't learn enough about the background of it all. Thank you!
I had the great privilege to see this show on Broadway 2 years ago, with Jenn still as part of the cast. As others have said, it can not be overstated how good this show is. I don't live in NYC but I happened to have an opportunity to make a day trip there, I saw this show and went to the 9/11 museum, and it was in September.
Oh, the interview itself was also great.
I love how he said this was not a Main character show . Everyone is the main characters
This is the best interview I have seen with come from away cast. This lady made the interview so engaging that there was no awkward moments or silences. Fantastic job!!! I am a newfoundlander but have yet to see the play. Terrible right lol. But I listen to the soundtrack and moves my heart every dang time. Loves ya b'y
Saw it last night in NY. They're not overstating how great it is.
I saw it tonight at The Fox Theatre in St. Louis and all I can say is “Wow!” I was born three years after 9/11 but I visited the 9/11 memorial in New York City and it was extremely moving. To know that good, kind people are still out there is amazing.
Host in incredible!!! She really knows her stuff. Agree with the other comments, this musical exceeds expectations (mine were high to begin with)
What a fantastic interview! Love how knowledgeable, enthusiastic, and engaging the interviewer is. Kudos!
I was just introduced to "Come From Away" this last weekend on AppleTV+; I've already watched it twice. Delightful and moving, I look forward to watching it again soon.
I saw this wonderful show in Seattle and in my memory there were far more actors on stage. I think it a testimony to the skills that a dozen people created so many personas that you remember seeing a town on stage. Congrats to the whole company for their accomplishments on Broadway.
Just saw it on Apple TV for the first time. Can’t wait for it to resume in Toronto so I can see it live and feel the energy of the live show. Fantastic show. Just the thing I needed to see yesterday on Apple TV. Warms the heart and lifts the spirit .
Irene Sankoff played Madeline Amy Sweeney in the 2004 documentary "The Last Hour of Flight 11", one of the airhostess on Flight 11, who called the ground staff to provide key info about the hijackers, along with Betty Ong.
This is the most beautiful interview I’ve seen. I’ve done the same as the interviewer and seen the show over 20 times now on the West End, each time watching a different cast member, or going to see a standby in a certain role. It is an addictive beautiful show where there is always something to see. I’m heartbroken to have to say goodbye to it.
Proud of my birthplace! The funny thing is that the people of Newfoundland think nothing of this.
I love Jenn's leather jacket. I wonder where she got it.
Such a great host and interviewer! Her genuine enthusiasm for her guests and the show is remarkable.
Just watched it in Costa Mesa. Amazing show.
I am way late in this phenomenon of a show. And how the interviewer explained exactly what I was thinking with each of the actors makes me now want to watch it 12 more times ( at least ) to watch each actor change in the subtle genius way that it does. I am now in love of every single actor.. such a great cast
Loved every minute of the musical and cried through the whole thing. Thank you. I remember 9/11 like it happened yesterday. I am so glad I have AppleTV so 5 years later after this interview I got to experience you all. So amazing and the story telling through song was so moving and profound. When I think back, I am ashamed that I never thought about the people or knew about the planes that were diverted when our airspace was shit down. I was so traumatized and honestly still am when I remembered that day and the days after. I wish this story was told then. The beauty of the people of Gander did my heart good. I would love to go there just to be in the midst of people that cared/care. Thank you to the all the people of Gander and surrounding towns. God bless you all.
The show is coming to San Diego in a few months, and interesting that people are repeating attendance at the show. I thought that I was the only one who saw shows more than once...("My One and Only" and Houston Grand Opera's "Showboat" and "Fosse" are my ones that I've repeated. Good interview here.
When the United States air space was closed and everyone had to emergency land in various places, it was called Operation Yellow Ribbon.
wow what a great interviewer!
I had no idea Jenn was from Charleston, South Carolina! I’m from Lexington, SC. That’s just two hours away from Charleston!❤
Yis by....where ya at so I can come to where ur too
idk why but I want to meet the kevins
Does anyone know if that documentary that they mentioned that's being made about the show exists?
Who is the gal hosting the interview?
That's me! My name is Laura Heywood.
BroadwayGirlNYC It’s so good! Build interviews are always amazing and this is no different.
Laura, Wow! I've watched a lot of interviews about this show and your interview gives so much more perspective, insight, and heart than any other interview. Your interest and care sets you apart. WELL DONE!
@@BroadwayGirlNYC I LOVE LOVE LOVE this musical, and I've seen it three times (so far). You did an awesome job on the interview honoring it.
@@Ethoshcs THANK YOU so much! It is one of my favorites ever!!
tge thumbnail looks like an old emma watson
it's jenn colella
I would love to hear MUCH more about how the music was created ... was it mostly from Hein, was it a collaboration of some sort with musicians & lyricists, ... did Hein arrange the instrumentation? To my understanding, the music is very often largely impacted by a composer, a musical director/arranger and a "workshopping" process. Anyone know if that was the case here? Or was it just Hein's work?
