COME FROM AWAY to Play The King's, Glasgow in September

Winner of four Olivier Awards, including Best New Musical in London and the Tony Award for Best Direction of a Musical on Broadway, Come From Away is a smash-hit feelgood show based on an incredible true story.

In the immediate aftermath of 9/11, thousands of air passengers from all over the world were grounded in Canada and this is the tale of the small Newfoundland community that invited these ‘come from aways' into their lives with open hearts.

A joyous story with soaring music, Come From Away focuses on spirited locals and global passengers coming together to forge friendships that will stay with them forever. Featuring real people with real lives - the first female American Airlines captain, the quick-thinking town mayor, the mother of a New York firefighter, the eager local news reporter - these are the characters caught at the start of the moment that changed the course of history and whose stories became a true celebration of hope, humanity and unity.
