Long before any Broadway performances began, a Canadian lawyer and theater producer named Micheal Rubinoff drew inspiration from the events that occurred in Gander, Newfoundland, following the terrorist attacks of 9/11. He ultimately choose the dynamic lyricists and composers Irene Sankoff and David Hein to flesh out Come From Away’s story. This dynamic duo gained an underground discipleship from their unconventional presentation of My Mother's Lesbian Jewish Wiccan Wedding, making them a good fit for this endeavor.
Come From Away begins with an ordinary day in Gander, Newfoundland. Like the rest of the world, the quiet town could not predict that their lives and the globe at large would diverge from normalcy. However, the traumatic occurrences of September 11th begin unfolding, forcing nearby American pilots to make emergency landings in Gander.
The planes carried a total of 7,000 passengers of manifold experiences and nearly 20 animals. Deception and false information make matters more stressful for both sides. How will the Gander townsfolk accommodate their shocked and weary guests? Will the tension bring the passengers and locals closer or instigate discord?
The passengers and even the pets eventually exit the restless plane cabin of their aircrafts. values clash between the Gander citizens and their unexpected guests, and fear takes root as the crowd gradually realizes what happened. The fantastic locals ease these growing tensions by awarding honorary citizenship to the confused and traumatized Americans.
Come From Away’s inspirational storytelling techniques earned it global stage time in Australia, the United States, London, and beyond. Much like the narrative it portrays, its original musical numbers, plot, and colorful characters transcend boundaries. It earned Helen Hayes Awards, a Tony, Drama Desk Awards, and several others.
