1878 Societies members make sure you join us at the Royal Alexandra Theatre for a performance of Come From Away. The Tony-Winning show was first conceived by Western alumnus, Michael Rubinoff, BA'98, LLB'01 and has been welcomed back to Toronto for a second run after being only the fifth Canadian musical in history to bow on Broadway.

Stay after the show for an exclusive Post Show Talk Back with Michael Rubinoff and members of the cast. Michael will share thoughts and reflections on the extraordinary journey of the show from conception to Broadway.

Tickets are $105 for orchestra seating. The show starts promptly at 2:00 p.m.

Bus transportation from London only is available and will be complimentary for 1878 members. Bus will depart London from Westminster Hall, promptly at 9:30 a.m. and will return following the show.

STORY
Come From Away is based on the true story of when the isolated community of Gander, Newfoundland played host to the world. What started as an average day in a small town turned in to an international sleep-over when 38 planes, carrying thousands of people from across the globe, were diverted to Gander’s air strip on September 11, 2001. Undaunted by culture clashes and language barriers, the people of Gander cheered the stranded travelers with music, an open bar and the recognition that we’re all part of a global family.
