Phoenix Theatre
After winning a Tony Award, three Drama Desk Awards and five Outer Critics Circle Awards on Broadway, Come From Away transferred to London’s Phoenix Theatre in 2019, where it continues to play to nightly standing ovations.
An unexpected landing in the town of Gander, Newfoundland left 7,000 passengers stranded in Canada in the wake of 9/11. Here, the small Newfoundland community invited these ‘come from aways’ from all over the world into their lives. As uneasiness turned into trust and music soared into the night, gratitude grew into friendships and their stories became a celebration of humanity and unity.

“See the show in the West End - it takes all of ten seconds to be in its generous embrace. You stay there for the next 100 minutes: laughing, tapping your foot, wiping away tears, feeling good about humanity - what a rare, welcome feeling that is these days.” (The Times)
