Come From Away in London

Come From Away began previews in the West End on 30th January, ahead of an official opening on 18th February. The musical received a flurry of five-star reviews, with LondonTheatre.co.uk complimenting its feel as a "little show with a big heart... 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". 

About Come From Away

Based on the true events of the 7,000 passengers and pilots who were diverted to the Newfoundland town of Gander in the immediate aftermath of 9/11, Come From Away is an inspirational musical which shares the stories of those who were affected.
