7,000 Stranded Passengers. One Small Town. A Remarkable True Story.
Immerse yourself in the incredible real-life story of the 7,000 air passengers unexpectedly grounded in Canada in the wake of 9/11. As the world around them fell apart, the tiny Newfoundland community of Gander came together and invited the ‘come from aways’ into their lives with open hearts.
Previous professional productions have won four Olivier Awards, including best new musical and the prestigious Critics’ Circle Award, this life affirming true story has audiences on their feet night after night.
With infectious energy, unforgettable music, and a diverse cast of characters, Come from Away is a testament to kindness and community. The multitalented cast recount the story of both the Islanders and the ‘Plane People’, revealing the fear and uncertainty that came with the terrorist attacks – as well as the profound generosity and compassion of strangers.
The first female American Airlines captain, the quick-thinking town mayor, the mother of a New York firefighter, the couple who met in Gander, and the eager local news reporter are among the many real characters whose inspiring stories made their way to the heart of this special show. Experience the unexpected magic as spirited locals and global passengers come together to find light in the darkest of times.
Join us, at the start of the moment that changed the course of history and hear the stories that became a true celebration of unity and hope. Come from Away is more than a musical—it's a celebration of what it means to be human.
