Come From Away is based on the true story of the time when the isolated community of Gander, Newfoundland, played host to the world. What started as an average day in a small town turned into an international sleepover, when 38 planes, carrying thousands of people from around the globe, were diverted to Gander’s airstrip on September 11, 2001. Undaunted by culture clashes and language barriers, the people of Gander cheered the stranded travelers with music, an open bar and the recognition that we’re all part of a global family. After its opening on Broadway in 2017, reviewers have called Come From Away a “celebration of the best of humankind”. Audience members should be aware, this production contains adult language. This production of Come From Away was licensed by Music Theatre International.
