Come From Away – Now Playing
by Irene Sankoff and David Hein
Come from Away is a musical with book, music, and lyrics by Irene Sankoff and David Hein. It is set in the town of Gander, Newfoundland in the week following the September 11 attacks, when 38 planes had to unexpectedly land in the small town as part of Operation Yellow Ribbon. The townspeople of Gander housed and fed the thousands of stranded passengers, who nearly doubled the population of the town. Many of the characters in the musical are based on, and share the names of, real Gander residents or stranded passengers. Following successful runs at the La Jolla Playhouse and the Seattle Repertory Theatre in 2015, the show played in 2016 at Ford’s Theatre in Washington, DC and the Royal Alexandra Theatre in Toronto. Coming to Broadway at the Gerald Schoenfeld Theatre in March 2017.

Broadway is all about gathering together and sharing in the experience of live theatre. The theatre industry is committed to the health and safety of all members of the Broadway community—theatre employees, production staff, cast, and audience members. To ensure the safety of everyone in the theatre, Face Masks and Proof of Vaccination will be required performances through February 28th, 2022.
For performances through February 28th, 2022, Guests 12 years old and older, will need to be fully vaccinated with an FDA or WHO authorized vaccine in order to attend a show and must show proof of vaccination at their time of entry into the theatre with their valid ticket. “Fully vaccinated” means the performance date you are attending must be:
at least 14 days after your second dose of an FDA or WHO authorized two dose COVID-19 vaccine, or
at least 14 days after your single dose of an FDA or WHO authorized single dose COVID-19 vaccine.
Guests 5 to 11 years old must be accompanied by an adult who meets the above requirements and must provide proof of at least 1 dose of an FDA or WHO authorized vaccine.

The only exception to the above will be for guests who need reasonable accommodations due to a medical condition or sincerely held religious belief.
Guests may present proof of vaccination or a negative test on paper or a smartphone. For example, New York State residents, or anyone who received a COVID-19 vaccine in New York State, may present proof through the use of the Excelsior Pass.
In addition to proof of vaccination, all guests 18 years or older must also present a government-issued photo ID, such as a driver’s license or passport. Guests under 18 may also use a school photo ID. Guests under 12 must be accompanied by an adult who meets the above requirements.
