SUMMARY:Come From Away – The Smash-Hit Musical
DESCRIPTION:Presented by: Tauranga Musical Theatre\nExperience the global phenomenon that has captured hearts around the world. \nCome From Away is based on the true story of the time when the isolated community of Gander\, Newfoundland\, played host to the world. What started as an average day in a small town turned into an international sleepover\, when 38 planes\, carrying thousands of people from around the globe\, were diverted to Gander’s airstrip on September 11\, 2001. Undaunted by culture clashes and language barriers\, the people of Gander cheered the stranded travelers with music\, an open bar and the recognition that we’re all part of a global family. \nSet to a vibrant Celtic-influenced score\, this award-winning musical takes audiences on an emotional\, exhilarating journey as an extraordinary true event unfolds through the eyes of ordinary people. What begins as a moment of international crisis becomes an inspiring tale of kindness\, humanity\, and the power of community. \nAfter its world premiere in 2015\, Come From Away made its Broadway debut in 2017\, earning critical acclaim and becoming one of Broadway’s most celebrated hits of the decade. It went on to play more than 1\,600 performances at the Gerald Schoenfeld Theatre and received a Tony Award\, six Olivier Awards\, and widespread international praise for its innovative storytelling and powerful message of unity. The show’s global presence resonates across all audiences as an uplifting reminder of humanity’s ability to come together\, no matter what the circumstances. \nJoin the thousands who have fallen in love with this extraordinary musical. Book your seats now and be part of the story that reminds us: even in the worst of times\, we see the best of humankind. \nOn Tuesday 28 April it’s Pay What You Can\, where you can choose your price to suit your budget.  \nFind out more

SUMMARY:Come From Away – The Smash-Hit Musical
DESCRIPTION:Presented by: Tauranga Musical Theatre\nExperience the global phenomenon that has captured hearts around the world. \nCome From Away is based on the true story of the time when the isolated community of Gander\, Newfoundland\, played host to the world. What started as an average day in a small town turned into an international sleepover\, when 38 planes\, carrying thousands of people from around the globe\, were diverted to Gander’s airstrip on September 11\, 2001. Undaunted by culture clashes and language barriers\, the people of Gander cheered the stranded travelers with music\, an open bar and the recognition that we’re all part of a global family. \nSet to a vibrant Celtic-influenced score\, this award-winning musical takes audiences on an emotional\, exhilarating journey as an extraordinary true event unfolds through the eyes of ordinary people. What begins as a moment of international crisis becomes an inspiring tale of kindness\, humanity\, and the power of community. \nAfter its world premiere in 2015\, Come From Away made its Broadway debut in 2017\, earning critical acclaim and becoming one of Broadway’s most celebrated hits of the decade. It went on to play more than 1\,600 performances at the Gerald Schoenfeld Theatre and received a Tony Award\, six Olivier Awards\, and widespread international praise for its innovative storytelling and powerful message of unity. The show’s global presence resonates across all audiences as an uplifting reminder of humanity’s ability to come together\, no matter what the circumstances. \nJoin the thousands who have fallen in love with this extraordinary musical. Book your seats now and be part of the story that reminds us: even in the worst of times\, we see the best of humankind. \nOn Tuesday 28 April it’s Pay What You Can\, where you can choose your price to suit your budget.  \nFind out more
