Global Hit Musical COME FROM AWAY coming to Adelaide in 2023
The worldwide smash hit, Tony and Olivier award-winning musical COME FROM AWAY is heading to Adelaide’s Her Majesty’s Theatre from 28 March 2023. Based on the incredible real-life events in the wake of September 11, COME FROM AWAY is an inspiring musical about unity and kindness in adversity.
Set in Gander, Newfoundland where 38 planes carrying nearly 7,000 people from over 100 countries were redirected during this traumatic event, almost doubling the population of the remote Canadian town. Capturing the generosity and hospitality of the small community of Gander who invited the “come from aways” into their homes, it is an uplifting story of hope and humanity.
The Cast
The outstanding ensemble includes Kyle Brown, Zoe Gertz, Manon Gunderson-Briggs, Douglas Hansell, Kat Harrison, Joe Kosky, Phillip Lowe, Joseph Naim, Sarah Nairne, Natalie O’Donnell, Emma Powell, David Silvestri, together with Kaya Byrne, Jeremy Carver-James, Noni McCallum, Michael Lee Porter, Alana Tranter and Jasmine Vaughns.
