WLOS Theatre Presents “Come From Away” 12 – 15 November 2025

7,000 Stranded Passengers. One Small Town. A Remarkable True Story. Winner of four Olivier Awards including Best New Musical in London and a Tony Award on Broadway, this smash hit show shares the incredible real-life story of the 7,000 air passengers from all over the world who were grounded in Canada during the wake of 9/11, and the small Newfoundland community that invited these ‘come from aways’ into their lives with open hearts.

Experience this joyous story and soaring music as spirited locals and global passengers come together to forge friendships that will stay with them forever. The first female American Airlines captain, the quick-thinking town mayor, the mother of a New York firefighter and the eager local news reporter are among the many real characters caught at the start of the moment that changed the course of history and whose stories became a true celebration of hope, humanity and unity.

Founded in 1929, Wimbledon Light Opera Soceity has been delivering fantastic amateur theatre to South West London for over 90 years. WLOS are proud to bring this uplifting true story to Kingston this October!
