What's On - COME FROM AWAY The Dundee Premier

On September 11, 2001, the world stopped. In the days that followed, kindness took centre stage.

This September, experience the Dundee premiere of the global sensation Come From Away at the Whitehall Theatre, in a powerful and deeply moving tribute to humanity at its best.

Thursday 10 – Saturday 12 September 2026
Whitehall Theatre, Dundee

Based on the remarkable true story, Come From Away tells how the small town of Gander, Newfoundland, welcomed 7,000 stranded passengers when US airspace was closed in the aftermath of 9/11.

Strangers became friends. Fear turned to compassion. And a community opened its doors to people from around the world, showing us what it truly means to care for one another.

The Friday 11 September performance falls on the 25th anniversary of 9/11, making this performance especially significant.

Twenty-five years on, Come From Away offers a powerful reminder that, even in the darkest of moments, humanity can find a way through — through kindness, generosity, connection and hope.

This is more than a musical. It is an extraordinary true story that reminds us of the very best of people.
Uplifting, inspiring and unforgettable, Come From Away is a celebration of resilience, connection and the power of human kindness.
