“ONE OF THE BIGGEST HITS ON BROADWAY!"
ABOUT COME FROM AWAY

Producers Rodney Rigby and Junkyard Dog Productions are thrilled to announce that the

worldwide smash hit, Tony and Olivier award-winning musical COME FROM AWAY, will open at QPAC’s Lyric Theatre from 26 March 2021 for a strictly limited season.

Set to inspire audiences, COME FROM AWAY follows the incredible real-life journey of 7,000 air passengers who became grounded in Gander, Newfoundland in Canada in the wake of the September 11 tragedy. The small community that welcomed the ‘come from aways’ into their lives provided hope and compassion to those in need. Award-winning

husband and wife duo David Hein and Irene Sankoff (book, music and lyrics), travelled to Newfoundland and interviewed thousands of locals, compiling their stories to share with the world.

The Australian Company took Melbourne by storm in 2019, becoming the most successful musical ever staged at The Comedy Theatre and breaking all box office records and it’s post COVID return has been a huge success. It marks the fifth production of the musical worldwide, joining international productions on Broadway, in Toronto, the West End and the

US National Tour.

Producer Rodney Rigby said “As the world collectively faces one of the greatest challenges

in modern times, COME FROM AWAY reminds us that compassion is at the core of our

humanity. This is a story about unity, and about acting with kindness regardless of our differences.”

In 2020, the musical added to its international award tally with five Green Room awards including Best Production and Best Ensemble. In 2019, along with being voted Ticketmaster’s ‘Ticket of the Year’ by Australian audiences, the musical won four Olivier Awards including Best New Musical, Best Theatre Choreographer, Best Sound Design and Outstanding Achievement in Music, along with four Broadway World UK awards.
