  Just a fun fact in case it hasn’t been called out yet.  Jenn Colella is wearing Beverly Bass’s actual uniform jacket. Beverly gave it to her as a gift.

  Fun fact: In the West End, because of the specific time the show would start, when Beverly sings &apos;<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XgjAP1A659M&amp;t=526">8:46</a>&apos; (am), it was often exactly 8:46pm.

  me and the sky is such a powerful song. As someone else mentioned Jenn is playing the real life Captain Beverly Bass who actually did everything mentioned in the song. Jenn is actually good friends with Beverly Bass now as a result of this role and they go on vacations together and stuff<br><br>also i think the reason they didnt have the audience clap there is because the moment is so powerful and such a gut punch that the silence after that moment adds to it. having sudden applause after a moment like that ruins the effect of the statement made by the song

  The no time for clapping is a technique used to keep plays short and to ensure thunderous applause when they do break for applause. Because of the emotional rollercoaster this play is, they perform it without intermission, so they have to keep it moving.

  The writers intentionally kept the pace fast and few applause breaks since the people in Newfoundland “never got a break’

  The fact that all of these stories really happened. That the first Female Captain was one of pilots grounded in Gander and her story so beautifully tells the transformation of a relationship the whole world had with traveling by air on that fateful day. Gosh that song. It’s the song of all of us “me and the Sky”

  The ceremony is called a Screeching In, to become an honorary Newfoundlander. And yes, we do make you kiss a fish

  The stick at the beginning is called am Ugly Stick. It&apos;s a traditional homemade Newfoundland instrument, mostly used at kitchen parties.<br>The song they sung, &quot;Heave Away&quot; is a popular Newfoundland song

  The audible gasps from the audience when Bonnie says &quot;I&apos;m sorry you lost your baby&quot; breaks me every single time

  I saw the show when it was still in pre-Broadway tryouts, in Washington, in the theatre where Lincoln was assassinated. The Texan-English couple were there, and I had the immense honour of sitting in front of Captain Beverly Bass. She cried the whole way through &quot;Me and the Sky&quot;. It was so moving.

  I know I mentioned the Broadway Backstory podcast episode of this show. I just want to add they talk to Beverly Bass (the actual pilot). She didn’t know Me and the Sky was in the show when she saw it the first time. Her describing it literally left me in tears.
