Prior to the start of the pandemic, global productions of Come From Away included New York, Toronto, Melbourne, London and a North American Tour. The smash hit musical is currently running in Australia and will return to the West End's Phoenix Theatre in London beginning Thursday, July 22, 2021.

On September 11, 2001 the world stopped. On September 12, their stories moved us all.
