WMCS: Come From Away

Worthing Musical Comedy Society presents Come From Away

The worldwide phenomenon that took Broadway and the West End by storm comes to Worthing! Winner of the Olivier Award for Best New Musical and a Tony Award, Come From Away has been hailed as “a moving, irresistible triumph” and continues to wow audiences across the globe. This extraordinary true story whisks you away to the small town of Gander, Newfoundland, where 7,000 stranded passengers from 100 different countries found hope, humanity, and unexpected friendships in the wake of 9/11. With a vibrant folk-rock score, infectious energy, and a story that will leave you both laughing and crying, Come From Away is the must-see musical of the decade.

This amateur production is presented by arrangement with Music Theatre International. All authorised performance materials are also supplied by MTI.
