Come from Away is a musical with book, music and lyrics by Irene Sankoff and David Hein. It is based on the events in the Newfoundland town of Gander during the week following the September 11 Attacks when 38 planes, carrying approximately 7,000 passengers, were ordered to land unexpectedly at Gander International Airport. The characters in the musical are based on actual Gander residents and the stranded travellers they housed and fed.
It is a 96 minute one act show.
Superb local cast with great musical numbers. This heart rendering story will bring a lump to your throat and open your eyes to what happened.
