Watch Rachel Tucker sing Come From Away showstopper ‘Me And The Sky’

Rachel Tucker has given a live performance of Come From Away song ‘Me And The Sky’.

She performed the song in her role of Beverley Bass on US TV show Strahan Sara and Keke.

Having originated the role in London’s West End, Tucker is currently a part of the Broadway company of the show in New York.

Tucker succeeded Becky Gulsvig on Broadway in the roles of Beverley, Annette, and others after departing the London production on February 8.

The actress – who was nominated for an Olivier Award last year for her role in the show in the West End – was last seen on Broadway as Elphaba in Wicked, a role she also played in the West End production.

A new cast for Come From Away in London was previously announced, with Tucker’s fellow Wicked alum Alice Fearn taking over the role of Beverley/Annette and others.

Also joining the show will be Tarinn Callender (Bob and others), James Doherty (Claude and others), Alice Fearn (Beverley/Annette and others) Kate Graham (Diane and others), Alasdair Harvey (Nick/Doug and others), Ricardo Castro, Stuart Hickey, Sorelle Marsh, Micha Richardson and Matthew Whennell-Clark.

The new cast are currently performing at the Phoenix Theatre in London.

Come From Away shares the touching real-life story of the 7,000 air passengers from all over the world who were grounded in Canada during the wake of the 9/11 terror attacks, and the small Newfoundland community that invited these ‘come from aways’ into their lives.

With a score and book written by Irene Sankoff and David Hein, Come From Away proved a huge hit on Broadway before transferring to the West End at the start of 2019.
