(HOLMDEL, NJ) -- Bell Theater at Bell Works presents the Tony Award-Winning Musical Come From Away from September 11 through October 4, 2026. Discover the remarkable true story of the small town that welcomed the world.
Based on the remarkable true story that took place in an isolated community, Come From Away is a critically acclaimed musical featuring an enduringly relevant script accompanied by a deeply moving score by Irene Sankoff and David Hein.
What began as an average day in the town of Gander, Newfoundland, 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 welcomed the stranded travelers with music, an open bar, and the recognition that we’re all part of a global family.
The production opens on September 11th to commemorate the 25th anniversary of the attacks on 9/11.
Tickets start at $69 and are available for purchase online. Bell Theater at Bell Works is located at 101 Crawford Corners Road in Holmdel, New Jersey.
Come From Away was written by Irene Sankoff and David Hein. It features musical arrangements by Ian Eisendrath.
Come From Away achieved unprecedented global recognition with 37 award nominations, 13 of which resulted in wins, most notably Best New Musical at the 2019 Olivier Awards and Outstanding Musical at the 2017 Drama Desk Awards.
Come From Away has impacted the cultural zeitgeist not only on stage, but also in song and screen. An original Broadway cast recording was released in 2017 and was nominated for a Grammy Award for Best Musical Theatre Album at the 60th Grammy Awards. The pro-shot film, produced in response to the Broadway shutdown during the COVID-19 pandemic, was released on Apple TV+ in 2021, the day before the anniversary of the September 11th attacks. In 2021, an album titled Covers From Away was released by Craft Recordings featuring songs from the show covered by numerous artists from Newfoundland and Labrador, including Alan Doyle and The Irish Descendants.
