Tickets are now on sale for Come from Away, a hit musical that is returning to Baltimore’s Hippodrome Theatre for a limited engagement on April 18 and 19, 2025.

Come from Away is a story about some of the 7,000 people who were stranded in the small town of Gander, Newfoundland, after all flights to the U. S. were grounded following the terror attacks on Sept. 11, 2001.

The winner of one Tony Award and four Lawrence Olivier Awards, the musical follows plane passengers and locals as they learn about the attacks and find hope while forging lasting bonds. All of the characters in the musical are based on actual Gander residents and the stranded travelers they housed and fed.

Come from Away was originally developed at the Canadian Music Theatre Project in 2012, was further developed at the Goodspeed Musicals’ festival in East Haddam, Connecticut, in 2013 and opened on Broadway in 2017 at the Gerald Schoenfeld Theatre, where it became a critical and box office success.

The Broadway production closed in 2022 after 25 previews and 1,669 regular performances. The first North American touring production was launched in 2018 and stopped in more than 50 cities, including Baltimore, before ending in 2023. Next year’s Baltimore stop is part of a 50-venue 2024-2025 North American tour (www.comefromaway.com) that began this week in Regina, Canada.

Returning cast members include Kathleen Cameron; Addison Garner; Andrew Hendrick; Kristin Litzenberg; Erich Schroeder and Andre Williams. The 2024-2025 touring production also features John Anker Bow; Ryaan Farhadi; Richard Chaz Gomez; Jordan Hayakawa; Tyler Olshansky-Bailon; Hannah-Kathryn Wall; Nick Berke; K. Bernice; Jordan Diggory; Rayna L. Hickman; Sierra Naomi; and Justin Phillips. It’s directed by Daniel Goldstein with musical staging by Richard J. Hinds, based on the original Broadway direction and choreography.
