BWW Review: COME FROM AWAY at ÖstgötateaternSeptember 25, 2020It's more than 6 months since I saw a musical and it was a very special feeling to have the opportunity to be one of 50 to see the sneak premiere on Come From Away. The theater hade prepared very well with the social distancing. Separate entrances, 25 on each side of the foyer, 1,5 meter between each seat sideways, back and front. Each seat marked with a yellow sheet marked 'This is your seat'. And everyone in Sweden is really good at keeping 1,5-2 meter distance after more than 6 month of practicing. But the government is still reluctant to increase the number of 50.
