cal. It tells the true — and irresistibly heartwarming
— story of what happened when 38
planes were ordered to land unexpectedly
in a small Newfoundland town as part of Operation
Yellow Ribbon.
There, in isolated Gander (population
10,000), uneasiness turned to trust and gratitude
turned to enduring friendships.
Sankoff and Hein had visited Gander
and listened to stories from both locals and
returning passengers. They were inspired by
what they heard to write a tribute to the essential
goodness of humanity.
The resulting show, which opened in 2017,
earned seven Tony nominations — with one
win, for Best Direction of a Musical — and
nine Drama Desk Award nominations.
The Hollywood Reporter called Come
From Away “heartwarming and thoroughly
entertaining … especially in these politically
fractious times,” while The New York Times
dared readers to “try, if you must, to resist
the gale of good will that blows out of this
big bear hug of a musical.”
