“It does what all the best musicals do. Takes you to a place you never want to leave.” —Newsweek
Nominated for seven Tony Awards, including “Best Musical,” this inspiring true story proves that everyday acts of kindness are heroic in themselves. On the morning of September 11, 2001, 7,000 travelers suddenly find their flights rerouted to Gander, Newfoundland, doubling the tiny town’s population overnight. A moment of fear and uncertainty soon becomes an extraordinary story of generosity, hospitality, and human connection. As the townsfolk open their hearts and homes to the stranded passengers from all over the world, once-strangers become friends that shine light even through the darkest moments. The lively, uplifting musical that took Broadway by storm comes to town for its Houston-produced debut in signature Stages style.
