Come From Away St Agnes' Choral Society

Come From Away by Irene Sankoff and David Hein, performed by St Agnes' Choral Society. This amateur production is presented by arrangement with Music Theatre International.

7,000 Stranded Passengers. One Small Town. A Remarkable True Story.

This smash hit show shares the incredible real-life story of the 7,000 air passengers from all over the world who were grounded in Canada during the wake of 9/11, and the small Newfoundland community of Gander that invited these ‘come from aways’ into their lives with open hearts.

A story of hope, humanity, charity and unity, this powerful show and soaring music follows the journey of spirited locals and global passengers who come together to forge friendships that will stay with them forever. The first female American Airlines captain, the quick-thinking town mayor, the mother of a New York firefighter and the eager local news reporter are among the many real characters caught at the start of the moment that changed the course of history.

With hit numbers such as Welcome To The Rock, Me and The Sky and a riotous party in the bar with a live band, this show has it all.

Brought to you by the award-winning St Agnes’ Choral Society, Come From Away has been the winner of four Olivier Awards including Best New Musical in London and the Tony Award for Best Direction of a Musical on Broadway.

This uplifting true story is a life-affirming production that has had audiences across the globe on their feet night after night.
