When Samayoa was first offered the opportunity to join Come From Away, he was skeptical, having heard it pitched as a "9/11 musical".[5][6] In addition to the event's influence on American society, Samayoa had been in New York City on the day of the attacks.[5] However, he changed his mind after reading the show's script at the request of his agent.[6] Samayoa began performing as part of Come from Away's cast in 2015, and originated the roles of Kevin J. and Ali in the 2017 Broadway production.[6] He remained with the show until 2022.[6]
