Book, music and lyrics by Irene Sankoff and David Hein
Winner of four Olivier Awards including Best New
Musical in London and the Tony Award for Best Direction of a Musical on
Broadway, 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 that invited these ‘come
from aways’ into their lives with open hearts.
Experience this joyous story and soaring music as spirited locals and global
passengers 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 and whose stories became a true celebration of hope, humanity
and unity. A wonderful way to honor the 25th anniversary of this
event.
Rated PG-13
