Irene Sankoff & David Hein said, “We are immeasurably grateful for the past five years, to Junkyard Dog Productions,  Chris Ashley, Kelly Devine, Ian Eisendrath and our entire team, for the support of this incredible Broadway community and  for our audiences who embraced and celebrated a story about kindness and being good to one another - a message which  is needed now more than ever. Winning awards around the globe and becoming the most successful Canadian musical is a testament to this story and the incredible artistry of every member of our Come From Away family. But we’re even more  proud of the good we’ve all been able to do with this show: packing meals for food banks on 9/11, paying it forward with  random acts of kindness and raising millions of dollars for countless charities.

“The candle is still in the window and the  kettle’s always on at Come From Away, with the continuation of our North American Tour and West End production,  the return of our productions in Australia and Canada - and returning from a Netherlands production in Dutch to see an  Argentinian production in Spanish, we are amazed how far the incomparable Newfoundland generosity continues to  inspire around the globe. It continues to be an honor to tell this story and an incredible gift we'll never forget.”
