It was such an awesome show. It's one of my favourite west end shows. Me and my friend said we enjoyed it more than the London one. Well done :). Enjoy the rest of the run xxx
Seriosuly, it was so good. Really well produced and directed. And of course perfectly executed!!
EPSOM PLAYHOUSE
Spring 2026
Come From Away is the award-winning musical based on the remarkable true story of a small Canadian town that welcomed over 7,000 stranded airline passengers in the wake of 9/11. Set in Gander, Newfoundland, the show celebrates humanity at its best — capturing the warmth, humour, generosity, and resilience of a community that turned a global tragedy into a moment of extraordinary kindness.
With a fast-paced score and a rich ensemble of characters based on real people, Come From Away is heartfelt, funny, and powerfully moving. It’s an ensemble-driven production that places equal value on every role, with no traditional leads — just a community of people whose lives unexpectedly collide.
