About the show

In the wake of 9/11, Come From Away brings to life the true story of a small Newfoundland town that welcomed thousands of stranded passengers. In the midst of confusion and fear, simple acts of kindness create lasting bonds and extraordinary moments of hope. A powerful musical celebration of community, generosity, and the human spirit. Grounded in real events and carried by a stirring score, the show honors both the weight of that moment and the remarkable compassion that followed.
