Producers of Come From Away have announced that the West End production will reopen at the Phoenix Theatre on 22 July 2021.

The award-winning musical shares the incredible real-life story of the 7,000 air passengers from all over the world who were grounded in Canada during the wake of 9/11, and the small Newfoundland community that invited these ‘come from aways’ into their lives.

Come From Away is written by Irene Sankoff and David Hein, with direction by Christopher Ashley, musical staging by Kelly Devine, musical supervision and arrangements by Ian Eisendrath, set design by Beowulf Boritt, costumes by Toni-Leslie James, lighting by Howell Binkley, sound by Gareth Owen, and orchestrations by August Eriksmoen.

The reopening cast includes Jenna Boyd (Beulah and others), James Doherty (Claude and others), Mary Doherty (Bonnie and others), Mark Dugdale (Kevin T/Garth and others), Alice Fearn (Beverley/Annette and others), Kate Graham (Diane and others), Alasdair Harvey (Nick/Doug and others), Jonathan Andrew Hume (Kevin J/Ali and others), Harry Morrison (Oz and others), Emma Salvo (Janice and others), and Cat Simmons (Hannah and others), with Ricardo Castro, Stuart Hickey, Sorelle Marsh, Alexander McMorran, Micha Richardson, Jennifer Tierney and Matthew Whennell-Clark.

Producers John Brant and Joseph Smith, said: “It’s been too long since we were able to welcome people to ‘The Rock’ and we’ve really missed our audiences. The resilience and kindness of Newfoundlanders is known the world over and constantly provides inspiration to us all in these challenging times. Theatre is integral to the vibrancy of the UK’s creative sector and we look forward to being part of welcoming people back to London’s West End. It’s now more than ever that we want to tell our story and give audiences the chance to see us live again.”
