"Come From Away" Performs at Gypsy of the Year 2017

Ойын-сауық

At the 29th Annual Gypsy of the Year Competition, the company of Come From Away took top honors for best onstage presentation. The islanders took the audience on a self-deprecating journey through the show’s efforts to create choreography for actors not known for their dancing abilities. A final twist to the skit delivered dancing doppelgangers for the original cast members, adding splits, jumps and flips to the show’s straightforward choreography.
The indomitable and generous spirit of the theatre community - those onstage, backstage and in the audience - shined brightly as the 29th annual Gypsy of the Year competition celebrated six weeks of fundraising work of 56 Broadway, Off-Broadway and national touring companies for Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS. Gypsy of the Year (#GypsyOfTheYear), which was held December 4 and 5, 2017, raised a record-breaking $5,609,211 for Broadway Cares.
***
Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS awards grants to more than 450 AIDS and family service organizations in all 50 states, Puerto Rico and Washington D.C. and is the largest single financial supporter of the social service programs of The Actors Fund, helping everyone in entertainment and the performing arts.
Broadway Cares hosts two six-week-long fundraising campaigns in theatres across the country every year, one leading up to the Easter Bonnet Competition in April and the other leading up to the Red Bucket Follies in December. Broadway Cares also produces annual fundraising events in New York City, including Broadway Backwards, Broadway Bares and the Broadway Flea Market & Grand Auction.

And I didn't even notice that Irene did the Screech dance with the company until I noticed it WAS Irene. I would love to see both of them in the musical they wrote one day, they've obviously got the chops.

    I believe they were actual "gypsies" who are usually very strong dancers and make a career out of learning shows fast and bouncing around in Broadway ensembles replacing other dancers on short notice (hence "gypsies" - they travel around). They probably learned this number in a day - I would assume hypothetically realizing what the choreographer would have wanted to do if Come From Away was cast with stronger dancers.
