The West End production of the multi award-winning Come From Away has officially returned to its home at The Phoenix Theatre in London! Get a peek inside the company's triumphant return to Gander here!

Come From Away returns to the West End from 22 July. Learn more about the production, casting, and how to purchase tickets!

As the multi award-winning Come From Away prepares to welcome audiences back to the Phoenix Theatre in London from 22 July, the international hit musical today announces its extension in the West End until February 2022.

The Phoenix Theatre in London will reopen on 22 July and welcome audiences once again for the re-opening of international hit musical Come From Away.

The West End cast of Come From Away took part in the second Virtual West End LIVE video. 

Scottish stars of stage and screen, including John Barrowman, Elaine C Smith and Alex Norton with nearly thirty West End performers, have together recorded a spirit-lifting rendition of Beautiful City from Stephen Schwartz's musical Godspell.

It's a mark of a great show that it seems to speak directly to the present moment, even if that moment is years after its original creation. Come From Away passes that test with flying colours; in its depiction of an international community dealing with a crisis – including, raising a wry audience laugh, stockpiling loo paper – this 9/11 musical has plenty of resonance with our coronavirus times. Except that the world would be a much better place if we all behaved a bit more like the people of Gander.

The Olivier Award-wining West End production of COME FROM AWAY celebrated its first birthday at Phoenix Theatre tonight (11 March), and officially welcomed to the Rock 10 new cast members. Helping usher the show into its second year were two very special Gander guests: the real Bonnie Harris and Brian Mosher. Watch the videos below!

Come From Away is celebrating its first birthday in the West End! More tickets are going on sale, taking bookings through to 17 October 2020.

From 10 February, there are going to be some new faces amongst the Come From Away West End cast. Welcome them into the rock by watching the current and incoming cast members perform the final song of the show in the video below!

There are new islanders joining the Come From Away family, and we were lucky enough to get an exclusive sneak peek into their rehearsals!

As the Olivier Award-winning a?oeBest New Musicala?? Come From Away enters its second year in the West End, it welcomes new cast members from Monday 10 February 2020. This joyous musical tells the remarkable true story of 7,000 stranded air passengers during the wake of 9/11, and the small town in Newfoundland that welcomed them. Cultures clashed, and nerves ran high, but as uneasiness turned into trust, music soared into the night and gratitude grew into enduring friendships.
