Come From Away

Amid unthinkable tragedy, a small Atlantic Canadian town comes together to make a difference, one person at a time. On the northeast tip of North America, in the town of Gander, Newfoundland, a community receives a message. The U.S.A has shut down its airspace, forcing thousands of planes to be diverted. Among them, 38 flights full of passengers are about to land nearby, and will have nowhere to stay.

Based on the events of September 11, 2001 (and the days that followed), Come From Away tells the true and heartwarming story of kindness in the face of unprecedented circumstances. This award-winning Canadian musical has captured hearts since its 2015 world premiere, going on to become a Tony and Olivier Award-winning modern classic.
