Huge musical/theatre fan... Watched this with my SO and yeah totally agree with "simply showing the play rather than this awkward adaptation which doesn’t manage to capture that magic."
Come from away was filmed and released as it is in the theatre. Fantastic! Even went back to the theatre a couple of weeks ago to watch it for a 3rd time after watching it on A+ last year. Could have very much done that with this but instead they got a clearly aged Ben Platt back and tore apart the flow. 6 feels quite generous!
