Runtime:\u00a01 hour 40 minutes;\u00a0<\/b>performed without intermission<\/em><\/p>

When the world stood still on 9\/11, an unexpected resilience unfolded in a remote Canadian town.\u00a0Come From Away<\/em>, 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\u2019re all part of a global family.
