About Come From Away
On Sept. 11, 2001, the world stopped. On Sept.12, their stories moved us all. Come From Away tells 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.
The touring production of Come From Away stars Marika Aubrey (Lincoln Center’s “South Pacific”), Kevin Carolan (Disney’s “Newsies”), Harter Clingman (“Peter and The Starcatcher”), Nick Duckart (“In the Heights”), Chamblee Ferguson, Christine Toy Johnson (“The Music Man”), Julie Johnson (“Memphis”), James Earl Jones II (The Gershwin’s “Porgy and Bess”), Julia Knitel (“Beautiful”), Andrew Samonsky (“South Pacific”), Sharone Sayegh (“The Band’s Visit”), Danielle K. Thomas (“Avenue Q”), Jenny Ashman, Jane Bunting, Amelia Cormack, Aaron Michael Ray, Kilty Reidy, and Brandon Springman.
