Carol Jeffries (known as 'Jeff') is a naive American woman staying in the Phillipines. She is given ten years in prison after being set up by her drug-dealer boyfriend, Rudy. She endures the harsh conditions, sadistic head matron and attempts on her life, then convinces her cell-mates to try to escape with her through the jungle, in spite of the knowledge that ruthless trackers will be sent out after them. ”
“ Legend has it that Sam Arkoff, head of American International Pictures saw a statuesque Grier at his company switchboard and cast her on the spot for her breakthrough hit Coffy. That, as they say, is bull shee-it. The former beauty queen made her film debut in 1970 as an extra in Russ Meyer's big breast bonanza Beyond The Valley Of The Dolls, and appeared in a number of B-pics shot in the Philippines the following year for AiP's rival company, Roger Corman's New World Pictures. Alongside her role as the tough-as-nails prostitute in Big Doll House were supports in the horror flick The Twilight People and as a topless hooker (again!) in Cool Breeze, then back behind bars for Women In Cages.
In Women In Cages, Grier plays the sadistic warden for once, a pot-smoking lesbian with a fully-equipped torture chamber (including a guillotine!). The 'New Fish' (a recent inmate, for you prison film novices), a ditzy blonde ex-stripper called Alabama, has taken the heroin possession rap for her pimp boyfriend. She knows too much, so the pimp blackmails her cellmates to execute her. A competent and well-shot entry in the tropical prison genre from Filipino director Gerry De Leon, it places the embittered ex-addict and prostitute Grier in the position of slave owner, watching her white charges toiling away in the plantation with obvious ironic glee.
看似很美式主旋律，但就是能够被这样人性的光辉所感动。
这种灾难背后，芸芸众生所呈现的善意和温暖，怎能让人不喜欢。
喜欢到说不出话来 又好笑又好哭 最喜欢的就是女机长那幕了
希望早日到剧场看🥺🥺期待了太久了，未来可期吧
8.0/10.0 心脏外科医生好性感嘤嘤嘤～
精彩绝伦的作品。把膝盖献给这群真正的演员。
911的20周年，因疫情擦肩而过的Come from away巡演，在此时完成。我还去查了一下纽芬兰岛的位置。希望能早日回归原版剧场
特别，特别，特别感动。愿所有善行都被铭记，并得到应有的回报。音乐本身不算出彩，绝大多数对白和歌曲节奏都偏快，虽然是为了营造紧张气氛，但如果有更多抒情旋律的适当调剂，整体感觉会更张驰有度。唯一印象深刻的歌是女机长的独唱，旋律优美，而且歌词特别励志。根据真人真事改编的故事线太有感染力了，数次泪目，如果改编成话剧或电影，可能也会出好作品。
感觉一般般吧，只有welcome to the rock比较好听。没有hamilton的前半部分好看。三星半
没有特别抓耳的歌，印象最深的一段是不同宗教信仰的人一起祈祷。演员真的都很厉害，一人分饰多角，完全不会混淆。看完还是很感动的。
精彩绝伦的作品。把膝盖献给这群真正的演员。
真人真事改编的歌剧，主题很棒，但是单就故事性来讲有些平淡了，令人并不内心激动，歌曲也就还好，分三次看完了，看得有点困
百老汇音乐剧果真不同凡响，从舞台设计、场景切换、光影效果到台词音乐都无可挑剔，女机长简直太酷！如果说上周刚看过的《转折点》试图拼接起正面的历史，这部音乐剧算是另辟蹊径地挽起一朵火焰，照耀出那段时光的影子。唯此空前绝后的经历方可配得上传奇人生，我亦多么渴望有一天坐在不明方向不知终点的航班上，将我可怜可笑又可叹的故事说与你听……
好爱女机长的独唱part明明只有几把椅子和几张桌子，却能够呈现给观众如此生动形象的场景变化
一幕缩影，一段回忆，一个出口，一丝慰藉。
they say no man is island but island makes a man...心灵鸡汤确实很容易把人眼眶灌湿
就音乐而言，没有印象很深的（其实是被女机长的那段吸引来的，结果发现在全篇里篇幅就一小段……）
挺煽情的，但不知道少了点什么总觉得不够打动人，可能是现在对于这种“对陌生人的慷慨和温情”已经充满了怀疑吧
第一次看舞台剧 ，而且居然还是在网上。刚看的时候眼花缭乱有点接受不了，看到后来感动地不行。里面地真情实感，比电影震撼多了。
So much to be consoled as to console, to be understood as to understand ,to be loved as to love with all my soul
