LOS ANGELES—The hit homegrown musical Come From Away is getting the big-screen treatment. The Mark Gordon Company says it will produce and finance a feature film adaptation of the Tony Award-winning show. Come From Away was nominated for seven Tonys, with Christopher Ashley nabbing the show’s sole trophy for best director of a musical. Come From Away will return to Toronto with an all-Canadian cast at Mirvish Productions’ Royal Alexandra Theatre on Feb. 13, 2018. Come From Away is also preparing for a North American tour next year, kicking off at Seattle’s 5th Avenue Theatre in October 2018.
