Review: COME FROM AWAY at Keller Auditorium
This beautiful musical, based on the true story of how a small town in Newfoundland opened their doors to 7,000 stranded “plane people” when U.S. airspace was closed following the terrorist attacks, is an antidote to skepticism, nihilism, and loneliness.

Review: COME FROM AWAY National Tour at Durham Performing Arts Center
Come From Away is based on a true story of when the isolated community of Gander, Newfoundland played host to the world. What started as an average day in a small Canadian town turned into an international sleep-over when 38 planes, carrying thousands of people from across the globe, were diverted to Gander's air strip on September 11th, 2001. Undaunted by culture clashes and language barriers, the people of Gander cheered the stranded travelers with music, an open bar, and the recognition that they're all part of a global family.
Review: COME FROM AWAY at Shea's Buffalo Theatre
The best uplifting evening of theatrical magic is happening again just in time for the Christmas season. And no, it's not the annual Christmas Pageant at your family church. It is the remarkable true story of goodness that came out of the unthinkable tragedy of 9/11. COME FROM AWAY has returned to the Shea's Buffalo stage and it continues to enthrall audiences.
Review: COME FROM AWAY at The Overture Center
What did These 12 actors have created the most perfect professional ensemble show I have ever seen. There was no stand out star of this show, there were no pro or antagonists. There was only circumstances and stories. Often reviewers say things like, “This is not a show to be missed!’ “Catch it while you can!” and other such things, so I won’t. But I will tell you that you will be missing out on some of the best theater I have seen. So, get your tickets, it’s only “90 minutes without an intermission” and worth every second. This is a show I personally hope to see again and again.

Review: COME FROM AWAY at Morrison Center
In my own opinion, this show was a masterclass in what it means to truly be human. The audience witnessed a population who had little to share, giving everything for those who were afraid, tired, and far from home. Giving their own homes and buildings as a temporary shelter for peace amidst the unexpected adversities of the world.
Review: COME FROM AWAY Enthralls Edmonton
On the northeast tip of North America, on an island called Newfoundland, there's a small town called Gander. On September 11, 2001, approximately 7,000 aircraft passengers were stranded there after the horrific attacks on New York City's World Trade Center. Come From Away tells the true stories of diverted passengers and Gander residents, resulting in a moving musical testament. Since its 2013 development at the Canadian Music Theatre Project, Come From Away soared to international acclaim, receiving multiple Olivier Awards and the 2017 Tony Award for Best Director of a Musical (awarded to Christopher Ashley). For the second time since 2019, the production's North American tour touches down at Edmonton's Northern Alberta Jubilee Auditorium.
Review: COME FROM AWAY Lands in Vancouver This Month!
COME FROM AWAY is a musical that reflects what it truly means to be Canadian. It has heart, humor, and a unique story telling the events a week after 9/11 when 38 planes were rerouted to a small town in Newfoundland called Gander following the attacks.
Review: COME FROM AWAY at San Jose Center For The Perfoming Arts
What did our critic think of COME FROM AWAY at San Jose Center For The Perfoming Arts? Without a single showtune you'll be humming long after, this national touring production of Come From Away is moving, triumphant, engaging and endearing. Too bad this stunningly staged run is so surprisingly short. The remarkable assembled cast, each performing multiple roles, bring to life the anxious airline passengers grounded by 9/11 and the townspeople of Gander, Newfoundland who magnanimously come to their aid.
