COME FROM AWAY Comes to The Engeman

The John W. Engeman Theater has announced the cast and creative team of COME FROM AWAY. Performances begin on Thursday, September 11, 2025, and run through Sunday, October 26, 2025.

On September 11th, 2001, the world stopped. On September 12th, their stories moved us all. This stirring and inspiring musical takes you into the heart of the remarkable true story of the small town in Newfoundland that opened their homes to 7,000 stranded travelers on September 11th. During that fateful week, cultures clashed and nerves ran high—but uneasiness turned into trust, music soared into the night and gratitude grew into enduring friendships. Celebrate the best of humankind and the best in all of us at COME FROM AWAY.
