‘Come From Away’ finds humanity in the wake of tragedy
We’ve welcomed musicals about dancing cats, singing locomotives and blasphemous Mormons, yet Come From Away deals with one of the unlikeliest topics for a Broadway musical: The aftermath of 9/11. Following the terrorist attacks, 38 passenger planes were diverted to a small Newfoundland town, and suddenly 7,000 strangers were forced to deal with their surprised hosts and the fallout of a tragedy of huge proportions. Three years after its Broadway debut, Come From Away makes its regional debut in this national tour of the heartwarming story of strength and resilience.
