The day the world stoppedIn the hours following September 11, 2001, as planes were grounded and uncertainty swept the globe, 7,000 stranded air travelers landed in the remote town of Gander, Newfoundland. With no time to prepare, the people of Gander opened their homes, their hearts, and their lives to these complete strangers. This Tony and Olivier Award–winning musical, based on that astonishing true story, unfolds through a propulsive, folk-inspired score and a cast of unforgettable real-life characters. A heart-forward, joyful celebration of resilience, Come From Away reminds audiences of all ages of the power of community in the darkest of times.Approximate running time: 110 minutes, with no intermission.
