Exclusive Interview: Geoffrey Wickson & Nikki Mullaly of Avon Players’ ‘Come From Away’
What happens when thousands of strangers are suddenly stranded in a place they never planned to visit? If you’re the musical Come From Away, the answer is something far more powerful than panic: you get kindness, community, laughter, and a story that proves humanity can shine brightest when the world feels darkest. Set in the aftermath of September 11, the musical follows the passengers whose planes were diverted to the tiny town of Gander, Newfoundland, and the extraordinary locals who opened their homes and hearts to complete strangers. Avon Players is bringing this incredible musical to their stage on the anniversary of the September 11th attacks, marking 25 years since our world was changed forever. We spoke with two cast members from this production, Geoffrey Wickson and Nikki Mullaly, about what it’s like to be part of a musical like this one!
In this exclusive BSB Insider interview, Wickson and Mullaly share what it was about this show that made them want to be a part of Come From Away and what audiences can expect from this production! From the challenges of bringing the show to life to the honor of stepping into a real story like this one, these two stars break it all down!
