A look at culture, arts, extras and things we’re following this week.

COME

FROM AWAY

The critically acclaimed Broadway hit ‘Come From Away’ is a remarkable true story that departs Melbourne on March 8th.

The “heartwarming” show is set after the 9/11 terrorist attack of 2001, when 255 aircrafts were diverted to a small town called Gander in Newfoundland, Canada. The true tale follows the small community that took in and cared for over 6000 passengers over five days, while American airspace was closed by the US government.

The humble Canadian production has had international success, winning Olivier and Tony Awards, and packing out shows across the USA, Europe and now, Australia. Make sure to get your tickets before the last show in Melbourne on March 8th.
