9/11/2001… 38 airplanes, 6,579 stranded passengers from 100 countries, 1 small town in Newfoundland. Before they have a clue what’s happening, thousands of passengers are diverted to the town of Gander, doubling its population and putting the townsfolk to the test.
A Tony Award-winning Broadway smash hit based on astonishing true events and hundreds of hours of interviews with the townspeople and the “come from aways” (aka stranded passengers), this breathtaking musical blends humor, heart, and soaring music to tell a story of small-town generosity that helped the healing being. It’s a celebration of what happens when people choose kindness in the face of tragedy.
