Come From Away tells the uplifting true story of a small town in Newfoundland that opens its doors to nearly 7,000 stranded passengers following the events of September 11, 2001. As 38 planes land unexpectedly in Gander, the tight-knit community demonstrates extraordinary kindness, offering shelter and hospitality to those in need. The musical features a diverse cast and a captivating score that embodies the spirit of resilience and unity during a time of crisis.

News About Come From Away at The Muny
Critic James Lindhorst's Best of St. Louis Theatre in 2025
December 15, 2025 This past season was the year of the comedy in St. Louis Theater. Companies across the city had audiences laughing all season long with slapstick, farce, and satire. There were some wonderful musical productions that really sang, a few hard hitting dramas, but comedies reigned in both quantity and quality. Instead of publishing a Top 10 list this year, I’m going to recognize the Best in St. Louis Theater for 2025. “The Best” is still a shortened list of just 13 shows out of the nearly 90 shows I saw this past year. It took weeks of thought and painstaking consideration to decide which productions would be included in my annual list. Here they are. The productions are listed in alphabetical order, not ranked by favorites:About the Theatre
