Come From Away on Tour
The true story of the small town that welcomed the world.
Broadway's COME FROM AWAY has won Best Musical all across North America!
The New York Times Critics' Pick 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.
Don't miss this breathtaking new musical written by Tony? nominees Irene Sankoff and David Hein, and helmed by this year's Tony-winning Best Director, Christopher Ashley. Newsweek cheers, "It takes you to a place you never want to leave!"
On 9/11, the world stopped. On 9/12, their stories moved us all.
I really enjoyed the performance. The songs and individual performances were wonderful. The accent however was too heavy. People in Central Newfoundland don’t speak with that heavy Irish accent.
Come from Away is a joyous, inspiring, experience! Funny, heartbreaking, thoughtful and full of life it celebrates the best in humanity. And it showcases the beauty of the people of Gander (and surrounding communities). Its music is infectious, moving and beautiful. It is a “must see” show. This was our third time seeing the show and it did not disappoint!
This performance has it all! It is so well done. The music, acting, stage changes, story line - everything is top notch. It is touching and funny and absolutely un-forgettable. I loved every minute of it!
Having recently visited Gander and remembering 9-11 with clarity, we thought the show was really well done. Enjoyed the real people (all shapes and sizes) conveying all aspects of an incredible life experience with sensitivity and humor. Highly recommend!
This version of Come From Away was better than several others! Despite the actors nor being Newfies, their portrayal reflected NL at its finest. Idiosyncrasies of life in NL were woven into their performances and executed incredibly well. Well Done!
Your emotions shift between laughter and crying. This play makes you proud to be a Canadian. At the end of the performance, I could have walked right back in and watched it again.
I sat down and it was over! Time passed by so quickly!! The singing was lovely and moved me. Well done!
It was funny and serious. Their performers were amazing and the music was wonderful!
The show was fabulous, moving. So much energy onstage. One of the best shows I have experienced.!
As a proud Newfoundlander, seeing *Come From Away* was an emotional experience like no other. This show captures the heart, humor, and resilience of my home province in a way that makes me burst with pride. Based on the true story of how Gander, Newfoundland, welcomed 7,000 stranded passengers after the events of 9/11, it perfectly embodies the warmth and generosity of our people. From the very first note, I was swept away by the music, which mixes Celtic influences with folk traditions, transporting me back to the rugged beauty of the island. The songs are not only catchy but filled with the kind of emotional honesty that Newfoundland thrives on—simple, yet deeply moving. The show manages to strike a perfect balance between laughter and tears. The comedy is sharp and genuine, rooted in the quirky charm of Newfoundlanders. I couldn’t help but chuckle at the familiar accents and local wit. It felt like I was sitting in a St. John’s kitchen party with friends, swapping stories and poking fun at life’s oddities. Yet, just when the audience is laughing at a joke about cod or moose, the next moment pulls on your heartstrings as we’re reminded of the immense tragedy that brought these people together. But what truly stands out is the emotional impact. This is a show about community, kindness, and compassion during one of the darkest times in recent history. As Newfoundlanders, we pride ourselves on looking after one another, and seeing that kindness play out on such a grand stage was deeply affirming. The stories of the locals and the passengers intertwining felt so true to life, capturing both the uncertainty of the time and the incredible human connection that blossomed. *Come From Away* isn’t just a musical; it’s a testament to the power of kindness, of neighbors helping neighbors, and of strangers becoming friends. As a Newfoundlander, it made me proud of where I come from. As a theatergoer, it left me moved, entertained, and filled with hope. Whether you're familiar with Newfoundland or not, this is a show that speaks to the best of humanity, and it’s one you’ll carry in your heart long after the final curtain falls. A perfect 10/10.
