#MOMENT BY MOMENT MUSICAL SYNOPSIS PROFESSIONAL#
The first professional production took place in La Jolla, California, in 2015, and the show played in Seattle, Washington, D.C., and Toronto before its Broadway bow. When did Come From Away premiere?Ĭome From Away was first produced at Ontario's Sheridan College in 2013. Among the characters are the first-ever female captain of an American Airlines plane, the mayor of Gander, multiple schoolteachers, a couple both named Kevin, and a couple who meets on their displaced flight and bonds during their time in Gander. Each character is either a direct representation of a real person or a composite of several real people, and Come From Away focuses on a select few people's stories. In the week after 9/11, the town's population doubled as its residents banded together to house, clothe, and feed nearly 7,000 plane passengers from all over the world.Įach member of the cast plays multiple characters - at least one Gander resident and one plane passenger each. The town contains an airport that was once a major transatlantic refueling stop, but no longer gets much air traffic - until 38 planes are rerouted there when the American airspace closes. The show opens in the small Canadian town of Gander, Newfoundland, on September 11, 2001. What is Come From Away about?Ĭome From Away is based on a true story of selflessness and compassion after the 9/11 attacks on New York's World Trade Center. So consider this guide your initiation to Newfoundland (short of its actual initiation ceremony more on that below) before seeing Come From Away. We've got all you need to know about the show's creation, real-life inspirations, music, and more. The musical has been on Broadway since 2017 and is still going strong. Come From Away has itself become a symbol of generosity and connection, and the show is known for offering one of the most heartwarming evenings available at a Broadway theatre. The musical tells a true story that has become something of a legend: how, on 9/11, the residents of the small town Gander welcomed thousands of airplane passengers into their town on a moment's notice, building lasting connections with them in the week that they stayed there. Welcome to the Rock! The Rock - that is, the island of Newfoundland in Canada - has come to New York with Come From Away.
