Prior to any Broadway performances began, a Canadian lawyer and theater producer named Micheal Rubinoff drew inspiration from the events that occurred in Gander, Newfoundland, following the attacks of 9/11. He ultimately choose the multi-talented lyricists and composers Irene Sankoff and David Hein to conceive Come From Away’s story. This talented twosome gained a cult following from their unconventional presentation of My Mother's Lesbian Jewish Wiccan Wedding, making them a perfect match for this endeavor.
Come From Away begins with an typical morning in Gander, Newfoundland. Like the rest of the world, the townsfolk had no idea that their lives and the globe at large would diverge from normalcy. However, the tragic events of 9/11 begin unfolding, forcing nearby airliners to make emergency landings in Gander.
The planes carried a total of 7,000 passengers of diverse cultures and nearly 20 animals. Red herrings and false information make matters more unpredictable for everyone. How will the Gander townsfolk accommodate their shocked and weary guests? Will the anxiety bring the passengers and locals closer or create discord?
The passengers and their pets eventually unboard the tense confines of their aircrafts. values clash between the Gander citizens and their unexpected guests, and tensions grow as the crowd gradually comes to terms with what happened. The fantastic locals ease these multiplying anxieties by awarding honorary citizenship to the confused and traumatized Americans.
