When the United States suddenly shut down its airspace following the September 11 terrorist attacks, 38 commercial planes were diverted to the small Canadian town of Gander on the island of Newfoundland, stranding nearly 7,000 frightened and desperate passengers.

This is the remarkable true story of those ‘Come From Aways’ and the Gander townsfolk who opened their hearts to them, creating enduring friendships and lifelong bonds. It is an extraordinary and uplifting celebration of the best of humankind.

The winner of multiple best musical awards across the world, Come From Away is an unforgettable and inspiring theatre experience that will make your heart soar and take you to a place you never want to leave.

Now it’s Tasmania’s turn to see this incredible smash-hit musical live on stage, delivered by The Show Company’s award-winning creative team with a brilliant local cast and band.
