Come From Away at Isaac Theatre Royal

Showbiz Christchurch proudly presents the New Zealand premiere of Come From Away, a heartwarming and inspiring musical based on the true events following September 11, 2001. When 38 planes were unexpectedly grounded in the small town of Gander, Newfoundland, the isolated community played host to over 7,000 stranded passengers from around the globe.

What began as an ordinary day in Gander turned into an extraordinary experience—an international sleepover where the townspeople, undaunted by culture clashes and language barriers, opened their homes, hearts, and even their local bar. Through music, kindness, and a shared sense of humanity, Come From Away reminds us all of the strength we find in community and the importance of coming together during difficult times.

Brought to you by the producers of Mamma Mia!, Kinky Boots and Matilda The Musical, this critically acclaimed musical is a must-see event. 

Don’t miss your chance to experience this uplifting story of hope and connection at the Isaac Theatre Royal.

Join us in celebrating this remarkable tale of compassion and unity!
