On September 11, 2001, 38 airplanes were rerouted from New York City, suddenly stranding nearly 7,000 passengers in a tiny town in Newfoundland. The population nearly doubled, but residents welcomed these unexpected visitors – who “come from away” – with open arms, providing food, shelter, and comfort. With a breathtaking score that blends folk, country and pop, Come From Away tells the true story of strangers who became friends – offering each other hope and humanity during some of history’s darkest days.
