Come From Away

The 5th Avenue Theatre
1308 5th Avenue Seattle

On September 12, 2001, people of every nation woke up to a different world. Seven thousand airline passengers discovered just how different when their flights were diverted to a small town in Newfoundland, doubling its population and leaving them stranded. And yet, despite clashing cultures and high tensions, the locals welcomed the travelers into their homes. This heartwarming true story is the basis for the Tony-winning musical Come From Away, directed by Christopher Ashley, who took home the Best Director Tony for the show's Broadway run. The national tour is stopping at Seattle's 5th Avenue Theatre, so come see the show the New York Daily News called "a singing reminder that when things are at their worst, people can be at their best."
