Book, Music and Lyrics by Irene Sankoff and David Hein Directed by Peter Rothstein Come From Away tells the inspiring true story of 7,000 airline passengers stranded in the remote town of Gander, Newfoundland in the aftermath of September 11, 2001. As fear and uncertainty gripped the world, the people of Gander responded with open arms. Through music, humor, and heart this hit Broadway musical celebrates the power of human connection, and reminds us all that kindness can bring people together in the unlikeliest of times, and hope can arise in the unlikeliest places. “Big-hearted and crowd-pleasing…a singing reminder that when things are at their worst, people can be at their best.” – New York Daily News
Original Broadway Production produced by Junkyard Dog Productions
Choreography by Kelli Foster Warder
