This polka is featured in a variety of ways in Come From Away, and is dubbed as the "Screech" theme. It's the first tune played as the scene changes to emulate The Legion, a bar in Gander, Newfoundland & Labrador, where a few of the Come From Aways become Honorary Newfoundlanders through being "screeched in."

A brief look into the North-American Tour of Come From Away, coming to a city near you!
In August 2024, I had the incredible opportunity with the North-American Tour of “Come From Away” to make history and be a part of the first ever Broadway production to perform through the USO on three different active military bases. We performed a concert staging of the show at the Wright-Patterson Air Force Base in Dayton, OH (inside of the National Museum of the USAF in a hangar full of planes!); The Sadowski Center in Fort Knox, KY; and The Shaw Physical Fitness Center in Fort Campbell, KY. Performing our show to hundreds of active military personnel and their families at no cost was such a rewarding experience, and felt like the best way to thank our troops for their service.
