Come From Away on Tour
The true story of the small town that welcomed the world.
Broadway's COME FROM AWAY has won Best Musical all across North America!
The New York Times Critics' 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 new musical written by Tony® nominees Irene Sankoff and David Hein, and helmed by this year's Tony-winning Best Director, 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.

The cast was wonderful, as was the story. The very skilled live musicians enhanced the setting and theme. However, I wish I had been able to enjoy the production in an actual theatre. While I am certain the tech. crew was doing its best, it is impossible to get good sound from an arena. Not only was the sound too loud in many places, the mix was ear piercing on the high notes. The wonderful lighting effects were interrupted by the bright blue strip lighting on the stairs. Despite all of these complaints, I enjoyed the production immensely. I would pay to view it again, but at a better venue.
The Show was captivating from start to finish , I Loved every minute of it . It not only told the story of that fateful day but taught lessons on acceptance & kindness! The Cast were amazing & so talented .. I would definitely see it again
Excellent The performance was breathtaking The singing was very moving The overall performance was a testament to the people of Gander Newfoundland
We came from the Cape Breton just to see this show because we loved it on Apple tv , and this show was almost Identical to the proshot on Apple tv , the characters , the voices , the stage , Identical. Blew my mind . 10/10 worth it !
The actors, show, story and music were fantastic. I took my 90 year old mother with me. She recently got a walker. The staff were extremely helpful in all areas. Our seats were on the floor. However, we could not see the stage very well and the show wasn’t projected.
Sound system did not adequately amplify lyrics which made the songs hard to understand. Stage was too far away for us so not ideal venue to appreciate a live performance. Some side screens would have helped with subtitles.
This was by far the best thing I’ve ever seen in my life and I’ve seen stuff! But seriously, I had chills and goose bumps from start to finish. They truly take you on the journey with them and capture the spirit in ways I couldn’t imagine. The cast, the musicians, the simple set of table and chairs that transforms you from a Tims to a bus to an airplane is truly amazing. Best show ever!
Amazing. Heartwrenching. Loved every minute of it. Talent was incredible
Amazing! Did not blink during the performance! Never underestimate the power of Newfoundlanders!
Surely Scotiabank Centre can come up with better seating than the foldup chairs we had to sit on - and this at $400 per ticket! They were narrow so the larger folks spilled over their seats onto the adjacent ones and we were all sitting shoulder to shoulder with not an inch of room to move.
We’re amazed how a few chairs and tables can become planes, a restaurant and churches etc. we had a fabulous time.
It was awesome. The energy of the cast was unbelievable. They went continuous for the whole show. Their accents were spot on, the story was true. We shared laughs and tears. I've seen it on TV but that was nothing compared to the live show.
Excellent performance. Seats were over $150 each and we were on the floor and could barely see the performance. There are so many of us that couldn’t even get a clear view. Not acceptable at that price point.
Brilliant performance! From the first few moments of the show, flashbacks of all the good, bad & ugly of that horrific day/week brought back many memories and emotions! The continuity/flow & the amazing talent…. Superb!! Bravo to all involved!!
The staff was very friendly. The set up for the venue was nice and gave it real theater feeling. The Come From Away show was incredibly entertaining with top notch performers
Outstanding performance. From the cast to the lighting and musical experience. Another great Broadway experience away from Broadway. A must see for all ages.
You need to be a down homer to really appreciate the cast and what was happening
An incredible show...so grateful to have experienced it live, even if not on Broadway! Thanks to the brilliant cast for taking us on such an incredible journey through music.
Re: visibility enhancement required Considering the size of Scotia Centre, I feel it would be most beneficial to patrons if jumbo trons were installed for those who are seated in higher level (rows) seats.
