From smoky dive bars to sold-out arenas, AfterGlow is a story of fame, love, betrayal, and the impossible price of wanting to be remembered.

Come From Away is based on the true story of the time when the isolated community of Gander, Newfoundland, played host to the world. What started as an average day in a small town turned into an international sleepover, when 38 planes, carrying thousands of people from around the globe, were diverted to Gander’s airstrip 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.

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 now arrives in Congleton in a brand new production which is set to share 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.

With an electrifying score and a cast of characters who will leave you cheering, “Come From Away” is more than just a musical—it’s a celebration of humanity, resilience, and the power of community. Step into a world where kindness conquers all, brought to life with invigorating music and stories that will make you laugh, cry, and believe in the goodness of people.

Age guidance: 10+. This production contains swearing, themes of violence and terrorism.
