‘Come From Away’ is Coming to Austin

Lexus Broadway in Austin presented by Texas Performing Arts will soon play host to the national tour of Come From Away, a Broadway musical about the true story of the small town that welcomed the world, as it makes its Austin debut at Bass Concert Hall for a limited engagement February 18-23, 2020, and tickets are available now.

On September 11, 2001 the world stopped. On September 12, their stories moved us all. Come From Away tells the remarkable true story of 7,000 stranded passengers and the small town in Newfoundland that welcomed them. Cultures clashed and nerves ran high, but uneasiness turned into trust, music soared into the night, and gratitude grew into enduring friendships.
