Musical | Utah Premiere
Runtime: 1 hour 40 minutes; performed without intermission
When the world stood still on 9/11, an unexpected resilience unfolded in a remote Canadian town. Come From Away, a powerful and uplifting musical based on true events, tells the story of 38 diverted flights carrying nearly 7,000 passengers who found themselves stranded in the small town of Gander, Newfoundland. Undaunted by logistics and language barriers, the people of Gander welcomed the stranded travelers into their community with open arms, recognizing that we’re all part of a global family. Don’t miss PTC’s “guaranteed-to-restore-your-faith-in-humanity” Utah premiere!
“A hit and a masterpiece! Joyous, uplifting and plenty of humor.”
— Herald Sun
“Takes you to a place you never want to leave.”
— Newsweek
Come From Away is presented through special arrangement with Music Theatre International (MTI). All authorized performance materials are also supplied by MTI. www.MTIShows.com
