It’s a Month Away…the Return of “Come From Away” To Seattle

It is not for nothing that Newfoundland is known as “the Rock.” Over 6,200 miles of jagged rock walls, formed millions of years ago by continental collision, volcanoes, and ice sheets, rise out of the North Atlantic along its coastline. For centuries the citizens of Newfoundland have survived brutal storms and epic winters by taking care of each other. So on 9/11, as thousands of airline passengers were stranded when the United States air space closed suddenly, the Newfoundlanders of Gander opened their arms and their homes and did the one thing they knew how to do: they took care of them.

With a diverse and talented handful of performers onstage, this New York Times Critics’ Pick 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.

NBC’s Tom Brokaw raved “This story touched the world and celebrates the best that we can be. We need it, especially right now.” The Daily Beast called it “a celebration of the best of humankind, and an uplifting piece of art for our times.”

Every musical tells a story. There is nothing that compares to the unbelievable true story behind the musical Come From Away, one of the most intimate and moving musicals today. Join us as The 5^th Avenue Theatre kicks off the first North American tour of this international hit.
