Come From Away is a musical staged at the Segal Centre for Performing Arts in Montreal, Canada, where it plays in the Sylvan Adams Theatre. It is a visit for anyone who enjoys musical theatre and stories rooted in real events.
The story
The show tells the true story of the townspeople of Gander, who sheltered 7,000 air passengers stranded when US airspace closed during the September 11 attacks. It follows the people of Gander and the travellers who landed among them, and the ways a small community opened its doors to strangers.
