Description: In the uncertain days following September 11, 2001, 38 planes carrying nearly 7,000 passengers were diverted to the small town of Gander, Newfoundland. With little warning, local residents opened their homes, schools, and hearts to thousands of strangers from around the world.
Based on remarkable true events, Come From Away is an uplifting, fast-paced celebration of kindness, connection, and the very best of humanity. Its deeply moving moments are balanced by abundant humor, lively music, and the unforgettable personalities of the travelers and townspeople whose lives became intertwined. Heartfelt, hopeful, and often surprisingly funny, this acclaimed musical reminds us that even in the darkest moments, compassion can bring strangers together and turn an unexpected stop into a place of belonging.
