Come From Away at Centre Stage

Join us for the extraordinary true story of Come From Away, a Tony Award-winning musical that celebrates the power of human connection in times of crisis. When 38 planes are grounded in the small town of Gander, Newfoundland, following the events of September 11, 2001, the townspeople open their hearts and homes to 7,000 stranded passengers. Through acts of kindness, compassion, and understanding, strangers become friends, and a community is forever changed.

With an uplifting and unforgettable score, Come From Away features songs like “Welcome to the Rock,” where the town of Gander extends its warm embrace to the unexpected guests; “Me and the Sky,” a powerful ballad about a female pilot overcoming barriers; and “Somewhere in the Middle of Nowhere,” which captures the unique and surreal experience of being stranded far from home.

Winner of multiple Tony Awards, including Best Direction of a Musical, Come From Away has received rave reviews for its storytelling, performances, and its remarkable ability to inspire hope and unity. Don’t miss this “inspiring” (The New York Times) and “exhilarating” (The Hollywood Reporter) show that reminds us how, in the face of adversity, we are all connected.
