The Lutcher Theater is pleased to announce the return of the stirring and inspiring Broadway musical “Come From Away” for one performance on Thursday, January 2, at 7:30 p.m. This heartfelt production is a must-see event, celebrating humanity’s extraordinary compassion and resilience.
On September 11, 2001, the world stopped. On September 12, 2001, their stories moved us all. “Come From Away” takes audiences into the heart of a remarkable true story, recounting how the small town of Gander, Newfoundland, opened its doors to 7,000 stranded travelers in the wake of 9/11. What unfolded over that fateful week was a testament to the power of human connection: cultures clashed, nerves ran high, and uneasiness turned into trust. Through music, storytelling, and humor, this production highlights how gratitude blossomed into lifelong friendships and how the best of humanity emerged in the face of adversity.
“We are honored to bring ‘Come From Away’ back to the Lutcher stage,” said Lynae Sanford, the Lutcher Theater executive director. “This extraordinary musical celebrates kindness, resilience, and community, and I can’t think of a better way to ring in the new year!”
“Come From Away” has captivated audiences and critics alike, earning numerous accolades, including a Tony Award® for Best Direction and the Olivier Award for Best New Musical. With its soul-stirring score and powerful narrative, the production reminds us of the enduring spirit of generosity and the shared humanity that unites us all.
