(MORRISTOWN, NJ) -- Mayo Performing Arts Center (MPAC) presents the National Tour of Come From Away with 5 performances from March 28-30, 2025.  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. Newsweek cheers, “It takes you to a place you never want to leave!”
