Show Information

Come From Away began with developmental productions in 2013 and had its professional premiere at La Jolla Playhouse in San Diego in 2015. Before Broadway, the musical played Seattle Repertory Theatre, Ford's Theatre in Washington, D.C., and the Royal Alexandra Theatre in Toronto. The show is based on true events: when U.S. airspace closed on September 11, 2001, thousands of airline passengers were diverted to Gander, Newfoundland. Come From Away features book, music, and lyrics by Irene Sankoff and David Hein, direction by Christopher Ashley, musical staging by Kelly Devine, and music supervision and arrangements by Ian Eisendrath.

The musical is known for its tight ensemble format, with twelve actors playing dozens of locals and travelers in a fluid, fast-moving staging. Come From Away runs approximately 100 minutes and is performed in a single uninterrupted act with no intermission. The Broadway production opened at the Gerald Schoenfeld Theatre on March 12, 2017, following previews that began in February 2017, and played its final Broadway performance on May 9, 2025. The show continues through touring productions and licensed regional and international stagings.

Come From Away won the 2017 Tony Award for Best Direction of a Musical for Christopher Ashley and received seven Tony nominations, including Best Musical. In London, it won the 2019 Olivier Award for Best New Musical. The production has played Broadway, London's West End at the Phoenix Theatre, Toronto, Australia, a North American tour, and numerous regional and international stagings. A filmed live-stage production directed by Christopher Ashley premiered via Apple TV+ in September 2021, and the show remains licensed by Music Theatre International for regional and amateur productions.

Story Summary

Come From Away is set in Gander and surrounding communities in Newfoundland, Canada, over the week following September 11, 2001. When U.S. airspace is closed, 38 planes carrying nearly 7,000 passengers are diverted to the small town. The stranded travelers, known locally as “come from aways,” arrive in shock and uncertainty as the people of Gander open their homes, kitchens, schools, and community spaces to care for them.

The story follows both the townspeople and the passengers as fear gradually gives way to community, kindness, and connection. Key figures include Beverley Bass, the American Airlines captain; Claude, the mayor of Gander; Beulah, a local schoolteacher; Hannah, a passenger with a firefighter son in New York; Nick and Diane, two passengers who fall in love; and Kevin and Kevin, a couple among the travelers. Through shared meals, improvised shelters, moments of grief, and unexpected friendship, the musical explores compassion, hospitality, resilience, and the light people can offer one another during darkness.

No prior knowledge is needed before seeing Come From Away. The musical is fully self-contained, introduces its real-life events and characters clearly, and lets its themes of human connection land across ages and backgrounds.

Story Highlights

Come From Away moves quickly from shock to warmth, using its folk-rock score and Newfoundland Celtic influence to carry the story forward.

• "Welcome to the Rock" — The rousing opening number introduces Gander and its people, setting the tone, pace, and Newfoundland sound that shape the entire show.
• "38 Planes" — This number captures the scale and disbelief of the moment as dozens of planes are sent to a tiny town suddenly asked to care for thousands of travelers.
• "Me and the Sky" — A powerful solo for Captain Beverley Bass, this song recounts her trailblazing career as a female pilot and the day aviation changed. It is one of the musical’s major emotional and musical centerpieces.
• "Screech In" — A joyful, comedic sequence in which the stranded visitors are inducted as honorary Newfoundlanders, bringing levity, warmth, and celebration into the story.
• "Somewhere in the Middle of Nowhere" — This tender number follows the budding romance between Nick and Diane, showing how connection can emerge in the most unexpected circumstances.
• "Prayer" — A moving layered sequence that brings together characters’ faiths, fears, and reflections in a shared moment of stillness.
• "Finale / Something's Missing" — The emotional closing stretch reflects on how the week changed everyone and brings the ensemble together for a powerful final statement.

Come From Away Seating Guide

Come From Away plays touring, regional, and international theater venues of varying sizes. Because the production relies on a fast-moving ensemble, shifting character work, live music, and transformative staging, where you sit can shape how closely you experience both the performances and the full stage picture.

Best Seats for Come From Away

The best seats for Come From Away balance proximity to the actors with a clear view of the stage movement, lighting, and minimalist scenic transformations.

• Best value: Upper mezzanine or rear orchestra sections — These seats often provide a strong full-stage view while keeping you close enough to follow the ensemble’s quick character changes and staging details.
• Closest to the stage: Front orchestra sections — These seats put you near the actors and live storytelling, making the emotional moments feel especially immediate.
• Best overall experience: Mid-orchestra or front mezzanine sections — Many fans favor these areas because they combine clear sightlines, comfortable distance, and strong visibility of the full ensemble.
• For families with young children: Seats with aisle access can make arrival and exit easier. Come From Away runs about 100 minutes with no intermission, so older children and families should be prepared for a single uninterrupted performance.
• For groups: Coordinate contiguous seats early, since blocks of seats in popular orchestra and mezzanine sections can sell through quickly for in-demand performances.

You can view an interactive seating map for Come From Away performances directly on BoxOfficeTicketSales.com while browsing available listings. The map lets you compare sections, check row depth and distance from the stage, and see real-time pricing for what's currently available — all before committing to a purchase.

Can I See Where My Seats Are?

Yes. The interactive seat map on BoxOfficeTicketSales.com shows your exact section and row placement before you buy. Use it to understand your angle to the stage, your distance from the front, and whether you're in the orchestra, mezzanine, or balcony — so the seats you choose match exactly what you're looking for before the curtain rises.

Getting Ready for Show Night

Once your tickets are confirmed, a little preparation makes the full experience run smoothly from arrival through the final bow.

• Download your tickets before you leave. Cell service around the theater can be congested on busy performance nights. Save your tickets to your phone's wallet or screenshot them before heading out so you're ready at the door without needing a signal.
• Charge your phone fully. Digital ticketing is standard at most theaters. A portable battery pack is worth having, especially if you're combining the show with dinner or other activities.
• Arrive at least 30 minutes before curtain. Theater doors open well before the show begins; arriving early gives you time to find your seats and settle in before the house lights go down — and avoids the disruption of late seating, which many theaters restrict.
• Plan for a 100-minute run with no intermission. Come From Away is performed in one continuous act, so plan restroom, concessions, and family needs before the show begins.
• Know the venue's phone and photography policy. Photography and recording during the performance are not permitted, consistent with professional theatrical productions. Silence your phone before the show begins so the audience can stay focused on the performance.
• For families: Come From Away is generally suitable for most ages and is often recommended for older children and up. The story concerns September 11, 2001, and includes fear, grief, and loss alongside warmth, humor, and resilience, so parents may want to prepare younger theatergoers for the subject matter.
