Come From Away
2025-01-06 08:00 - 2025-05-04 17:00 (America/Toronto) | Royal Alexandra Theatre, 260 King Street West, Toronto, Ontario, M5V 1H9, Canada
The global sensation Come From Away returns to the historic Royal Alexandra Theatre — where it all began with the pre-Broadway engagement and the record-breaking Canadian production that played for nearly three sold-out years (before the pandemic pre-emptively cut its run short).
This New York Times Critic’s Pick takes you into the heart of the remarkable true story of 7,000 stranded passengers and the small town in Newfoundland that welcomed them. Cultures clashed and nerves ran high, but uneasiness turned into trust, music soared into the night, and gratitude grew into enduring friendships.
Don’t miss this breathtaking musical written by Tony®-nominated Canadians Irene Sankoff and David Hein, and featuring Tony®-winning direction by Christopher Ashley. Newsweek cheers, “It takes you to a place you never want to leave!”
On 9/11, the world stopped.
On 9/12, their stories moved us all.
