"Come From Away" is a musical based on the true story of the small town of Gander in Newfoundland, Canada. After the terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001, 38 planes carrying about 7,000 passengers were unexpectedly diverted to Gander's airport. The townspeople of Gander welcomed, housed, and cared for these stranded travelers, showing remarkable kindness and hospitality in a time of crisis. The musical highlights the spirit of generosity and community that emerged despite the dark circumstances, emphasizing themes of global unity and compassion. It features Celtic folk-rock music and portrays real residents of Gander and the "come from aways," as the stranded passengers are called. The story has been adapted into a filmed stage production available on Apple TV+ and has received critical acclaim.
