with Director Karen Langlois!
About the Show
Come From Away is the beloved, critically acclaimed musical by Canadian husband and wife team Irene Sankoff and David Hein, and is based on the true story when the isolated community of Gander, Newfoundland, 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 travelers with music, an open bar and the recognition that we’re all part of a global family.
The show earned global success most notably winning Best New Musical at the 2019 Olivier Awards and Outstanding Musical at the 2017 Drama Desk Awards. At the 71st Tony Awards in 2017, it was nominated for seven awards, including Best Musical, Best Original Score, Best Book of a Musical and Best Featured Actress in a Musical for Jenn Colella, winning for Best Direction of a Musical for Christopher Ashley. The show’s global presence resonates across all audiences as an uplifting reminder of humanity’s ability to come together, no matter what the circumstances.
