What is Come From Away?
On November 11th, 2001, American airspace was closed and 38 planes from all over the world, carrying nearly 7,000 passengers and staff and 19 animals in cargo, landed in the small town of Gander, Newfoundland. With a population of only 10,000, the people of Gander are challenged to provide for these strangers. Come From Away is based on this inspiring true story with a wonderful musical flair. The music carries this story from the light-hearted celebrations in bars to the hope of a new beginning to the grief that shook the world after the 9/11 attacks.
Come From Away is critically acclaimed and created by an all-star crew of Tony-nominated writers Irene Sankoff and David Hein, directed by Tony-winning Best Director Christopher Ashley and musical staging by Tony-nominee Kelly Devine. The tour faithfully recreates their magic with director Daniel Goldstein and musical staging by Richard J. Hinds.
Come From Away reminds us of humanity’s compassion in the darkest of times, a message we can all carry into this new year. Join Broadway Dallas as they take to the skies with Come From Away.
