‘Come From Away’ closed after reopening for just seven days. Its producers blame a lack of government support
Many within the industry wondered what, if anything, could survive the latest onslaught of the pandemic if “Come From Away” couldn’t. The new initiative was announced along with other pandemic support programs on Oct. 21 and received royal assent as part of Bill C-2 on Dec. 17. Karastamatis said Mirvish Productions applied to the program but hasn’t heard back (the ministry confirmed that results are expected in early 2022). Tickets moved briskly when they went on sale in November, and Mirvish Productions amassed $3.5 million in advance sales. Mirvish Productions is contacting ticket holders who can exchange them for a different show, take a credit or receive a refund.
