On September 11, 2001, the world changed forever. COME FROM AWAY takes you into the heart of the remarkable true story of 7,000 stranded passengers and the small town in Newfoundland that welcomed them. Cultures clashed and nerves ran high, but uneasiness turned into trust, music soared into the night, and gratitude grew into enduring friendships. Music, humor, and heart take this Broadway musical and soar into a celebration of the power of human connection, reminding us the power of kindness, and how it can bring people together in the unlikeliest of times, and affirming that hope can rise up from the most unlikely of places.
WHY SEE THIS SHOW?
COME FROM AWAY is a show that has magic like no other. The characters engage directly with the audience and pull you into the stirring melodies and story, sweeping you away and immersing you in this story of what happened when 38 planes were suddenly grounded in the small locale of Gander, Newfoundland on 9/11. The riveting tale of what comes next, of how a small town seemed to rally around the entire world is nothing short of awe-inspiring, and the integration of music into the story helps remind us of the power of musical theatre.
WHO IS THIS SHOW FOR?
For audiences who love the power and spirit of community in A CHRISTMAS CAROL, or want sweeping wonderful music that drives your feet like BRIGHT STAR, COME FROM AWAY is a powerful story of hope, resilience, and community that guarantees to sweep you away.
