Come From Away is based on the remarkable true story of an isolated community called Gander in Newfoundland, who played host to the world. What started as an average day in a small town turned into an international sleepover, when 38 planes, carrying thousands of people from around the globe, were diverted to Gander’s airstrip on September 11, 2001. Undaunted by culture clashes and language barriers, the people of Gander cheered the stranded travellers with music, an open bar and the recognition that we’re all part of a global family.

We’re bringing this incredible show back – and this time to the Assembly Ballroom! With soaring music and a deeply moving story, the musical tells of the spirited locals of Gander and the stranded passengers who unexpectedly came together in the wake of September 11th, 2001. From tragedy emerged extraordinary kindness, humanity and community, forging friendships that would last a lifetime. Last year’s run sold out within days, so book your tickets early for this unforgettable musical.
