Come from Away is based on the true story of the time when the isolated community of Gander, Newfoundland, played host to the world. What started as an average day in a small town turned into an international sleepover, when 38 planes, carrying thousands of people from around the globe, were diverted to Gander’s airstrip on September 11, 2001. Undaunted by culture clashes and language barriers, the people of Gander cheered the stranded travelers with music, an open bar and the recognition that we’re all part of a global family.

Come From Away South America

Hi!

As the licensing rights for Come from Away are still unavailable, how come there is a production in Argentina? Is there a way for other South American producers, for example from Brazil, to acquire the licensing rights for the show?

Best Regards,

Gabriel

Need an uplifting show now?!

Hi,

With everything that's going on in the world now, we need some joy. To that end, I'd really like to produce Come From Away in the fall at my high school. Is there any way to open up those discussions among the people who make those decisions to get the rights released sooner to help us all?

Thanks!

I'm a high school speech and drama coach. Is it possible to perform one or two of these songs for competition?

As a large group speech coach, it is very difficult to find productions that are unique and relatable to a younger cast. I know my five students would love to tackle this show. I realize that this hasn't been opened to the public, but I was wondering if it is possible to perform one (possibly two) songs for high school competition.

Come from Away in Brisbane Australia

I saw this in the West End and loved it and on returning to Aus have been singing its praises. I have now convinced several people to see it but we are all located in Brisbane and the production is currently in Melbourne only. So I was wondering if there are plans to bring it to Brisbane.

Rights

Not really a question, but wouldn't it be nice if the rights were opened up in time for several of us to plan a production around the 9/11 20th Anniversary?
