I'm wondering if it is going to transfer to Broadway after its run at the Public. It was supposed to play in Toronto in Feb/Mar but was cancelled due to "scheduling conflicts". If it does, I think it could be a contender for Best Musical.

Maybe it could be Alison Fraser. She was off-Broadway in 2015 and was last on Broadway in 2008.

Is Jenn leaving any time soon? She recently posted on her Instagram saying that she is rehearsing a new show called the The Suffragists and it will be playing at the Public Theatre.

Any news if Girl From the North Country is going to transfer? I know it is playing in Toronto from Feb to Mar. If it opens in time (like late April), I think it could be a contender for Best Musical.

Huffington Post is mixed. Highlighted the strong design elements and strong performances by Newell and Salonga but called Kilgore's performance weak.

The Daily Beast is positive. Raved about the production and the cast but he didn't have very good things to say about the plot, especially the ending.

EW is positive (B+) but gave a rave for Kilgore's performance. "The show rests on the newcomer’s slight but stellar shoulders. The character’s sweetness and naiveté mixes with Kilgore’s killer pipes and dance moves for a dynamite performance filled with heart."

I haven't seen it yet, but I would recommend Once on this Island. It has had amazing reviews so far and the cast is amazing. I've heard that it is quite immersive as well. 

Come from Away and Once on this Island are both great shows, that are not Phantom of the Opera-esque.
