The Tony-winning Broadway musical Come From Away will be available to watch from the comfort of your own home starting next month!

Apple Original Films recently acquired the filmed version of the Broadway show and it will premiere globally on Apple TV+ on Friday, September 10.

The filmed version of the show will feature members of the original and current Broadway productions, including Tony nominee Jenn Colella.

Come From Away tells the story of 7,000 people stranded in the small town of Gander, Newfoundland after all flights into the US are grounded on September 11, 2001. As the people of Newfoundland graciously welcome the “come from aways” into their community in the aftermath, the passengers and locals alike process what’s happened while finding love, laughter, and new hope in the unlikely and lasting bonds that they forge.

The live performance of Come From Away was filmed at the Gerard Schoenfeld Theatre in New York City this past May for an audience that included 9/11 survivors and front-line workers.
