Come From Away

Come From Away musical banner - decorative only

Book, Music and Lyrics by Irene Sankoff and David Hein

Licensed exclusively by Music Theatre International (Australasia)

Come From Away chronicles the real-life experiences of the people of Gander, Newfoundland, and the almost 7000 airline passengers who were forced to land there when US air space was closed on September 11, 2001.

 

The actors tell the story of both the Islanders and the Plane People, revealing the fear and uncertainty that came with the terrorist attacks – as well as the profound generosity and compassion of strangers.

 

While some characters and stories are an amalgamation of several people and experiences, others are grounded in true people, such as Captain Beverly Bass, the first female captain for American Airlines; Kevin Tuerff and Kevin Jung, the couple from LA; and Nick and Diane, the couple who met in Gander.

​

Come From Away features an original book, music, and lyrics by Irene Sankoff and David Hein. The pair created the musical after visiting Gander during the tenth anniversary of 9/11.

Come From Away will be performed in May 2025 - 10 performances over three weeks from 2nd to 18th May
