COME FROM AWAY Lands on Long Island at the John W Engeman Theater

By Waldo Cabrera

Playing September 11-- October 26, 2025 at The John W. Engeman Theater

 

On 9/11, the world stopped. On 9/12, their stories moved us all. This stirring and inspiring musical takes you into the heart of the remarkable true story of the small town in Newfoundland that opened their homes to 7,000 stranded travelers on 9/11. During that fateful week, cultures clashed and nerves ran high—but uneasiness turned into trust, music soared into the night and gratitude grew into enduring friendships. Celebrate the best of humankind and the best in all of us at Come From Away
