Broadway's 'Come From Away' hits Wilmington
Broadway's hit musical "Come From Away" is coming to Wilmington for five shows, and some of these performances are on pace to sell out.
"Come From Away" connects you with 7,000 stranded passengers and a tiny town in Newfoundland that accepted them. Despite culture clashes, fear turned into faith, music came alive in the night, and friendships were eventually made.

Joe DeRosa brings jokes to The Queen
Joe DeRosa hasn't been shy about sharing with folks that his magic pill for coping with depression has been to gobble up a family-picnic-sized bucket of chicken from KFC. Maybe you can relate to him. Or not. Either way, you can expect DeRosa, who hosts the "We'll See You in Hell" podcast, to cut loose on stage and leave his greasy fingerprints all over The Queen when he's in town.
The Queen (500 N. Market St., Wilmington) at 7 p.m. Friday, April 19. Tickets are $29 (plus fees). Visit thequeenwilmington.com or call (302) 400-7020.
