Come from Away, the great winner of the Hugo Awards

There were no surprises. The Hugo Awards were given to musical theater and Come from Away was the big winner of this 12th edition. The show, still on the bill at the Maipo Theater, has won seven awards, the same amount as the music hall So … I’m back and the musical outside distant moonlight.

Come from Away takes place a few hours after the attacks of 11 September 2001, but in a small Canadian town. And it tells the relationship between some of the nearly 7,000 people stranded in that small town of Gander, Newfoundland (Canada), when their flights were diverted there, and the locals.

The musical with Melania Lenoir received the awards for the best musical work, the best general direction (Carla Calabrese), the best adaptation (Marcelo Kotliar and Calabrese), the male supporting performance (Fernando Margenet), the complete production, the revelation male (Argentino Molinuevo) and the scenography.

After the words of welcome by Pablo Gorlero, creator of the Awards, together with Ricky Pashkus, there was a heartfelt tribute to Enrique Pinti, who passed away on March 27, with a set that simulated the interior of the Edelweiss restaurant, a few blocks away. from the Astral Theater, where the Awards were awarded, and from which the creator of Creole sauce I was used to it

Among the awards there was one to those who reopened the Politeama theater, and it was Juan José Campanella, from a video, who thanked the distinction. Furthermore, in the trajectory of Laura Silva, Hernán Kuttel and Alejandro González.
