Come From Away follows the stories of 7,000 air passengers who found themselves stranded in Gander, Newfoundland, in the immediate aftermath of 9/11. In a Come From Away review on London Theatre, our critic said: “This is a genuinely original musical… It's a show with an impact that's difficult to describe: it feels like it creeps up on you unawares, before flooring you with emotion.”

Come From Away won four Olivier Awards in 2019, including Best New Musical, Outstanding Achievement in Music, Best Theatre Choreographer, and Best Sound Design. By the time the West End company take their final bow, Come From Away will have played 1048 performances in London.
