Come From Away
August 12 - September 11, 2026 in alternating rep
A true, uplifting musical of kindness and courage after 9/11.
This breathtaking new musical takes you into the heart of the remarkable true story of 7,000 stranded passengers and the small town in Newfoundland that welcomed them. Cultures clashed and nerves ran high, but uneasiness turned into trust, music soared into the night, and gratitude grew into enduring friendships. On 9/11, the world stopped. On 9/12, their stories moved us all
“There are shows you should see right now, for the benefit of your own spirit, and this is one of them.” - Chicago Tribune
