The Arts Club Theatre Company , in partnership with the Citadel Theatre, production of Come From Away will run from May 28 to July 26, 2026, at the Stanley BFL CANADA Stage. Inspired by true events, Come From Away is a Tony Award-nominated musical phenomenon by Canadian writers Irene Sankoff and David Hein . This Western Canadian premiere is directed by the Arts Club's Artistic Director Ashlie Corcoran and marks one of the first non-replica productions of the beloved musical following its acclaimed Broadway and international runs.

On September 11, 2001, the world stopped and the population of Gander, Newfoundland, doubled. Come From Away tells the remarkable true story of 38 grounded flights, 7,000 stranded passengers and the small town that takes them in with open hearts and homes. As cultures collide and tensions rise, strangers become friends, music fills the air, and generosity transforms fear into lasting humanity.

Come From Away is an exhilarating theatrical event, performed by a versatile ensemble and featuring a dynamic score that blends folk, Celtic, and contemporary sound. Teeming with undeniable Canadian charm and memorable songs, this unmissable musical speaks to the inherent goodness in all of us.

Come From Away has become one of the most revered musicals of the 21st century. It was the longest-running production in the history of the Gerald Schoenfeld Theatre on Broadway and earned 7 Tony Award nominations, including Best Musical (winning Best Direction); 4 Olivier Awards, including Best New Musical; and 5 Outer Critics Circle Awards. Audiences can expect an unforgettable experience watching this landmark Canadian musical.

Following its Vancouver run, this co-production will travel to the Citadel Theatre in Edmonton next spring. "These co-productions give us an opportunity to collaborate and share work across regions and strengthen Canadian theatre," Corcoran added.

The production begins at the Stanley BFL CANADA Stage on May 28 and runs until July 26, with opening night on June 3. Tickets from $39.
