Come From Away follows a group of travelers stranded on 9/11. The musical represents the height of a dark time, on September 11, 2001, in Gander, Newfoundland, where 38 planes and 6,579 passengers were forced to land, doubling the population of one small town on the edge of the world. On September 12, their stories moved us all.

Directed by Christopher Ashley and choreographed by Kelly Devine, the show opened March 12 at the Gerald Schoenfeld Theatre.
