Take the entire family on an unforgettable journey of kindness, courage, and the extraordinary power of human connection with Come From Away. Based on the remarkable true story of the 7,000 airline passengers unexpectedly stranded in the small town of Gander, Newfoundland, following the events of September 11, 2001, this uplifting musical celebrates the compassion that emerged on that tragic day. As frightened travelers from around the world find themselves welcomed by a community of just 9,000 residents, strangers become neighbors, cultures collide in heartwarming and humorous ways, and lasting friendships are forged. Filled with an energetic Celtic-inspired score, unforgettable characters, and moments of laughter and hope, Come From Away is a moving theatrical experience that reminds us of the goodness people are capable of when they come together. It's a powerful celebration of generosity, resilience, and the enduring belief that even in times of uncertainty, humanity shines brightest.

The original Broadway production of Come From Away opened in 2017, featuring book, music, and lyrics by Irene Sankoff and David Hein. The musical quickly became an international sensation, earning seven Tony Award nominations, including Best Musical, and winning the Tony Award for Best Direction of a Musical. It also received the Olivier Award for Best New Musical and has captivated audiences around the world with productions across North America, Europe, Australia, and beyond. In honor of the 20th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks, the Broadway production was filmed and released on Apple TV+ in 2021. This gave even more folks access to this incredible musical from the comfort of their own homes during a time when live theater was just starting to come back following the COVID-19 shut down. Inspired by the real people who opened their hearts to thousands of strangers, Come From Away continues to resonate with audiences through its timeless message of compassion and community. Don't miss this unforgettable, uplifting story. You'll laugh, you'll cry, and you'll leave feeling hopeful.
