Cunard will bring “Come from Away”—the Tony Award and Oliver Award-winning show—to sea for the first time ever in an exclusive production in collaboration with Music Theatre International.
The highly anticipated revival during Queen Elizabeth’s maiden Caribbean voyage on October 16, 2025, comes as the production celebrates 10 years since its debut.
The globally acclaimed show, written by Irene Sankoff and David Hein*, depicts the true story of the 6,579 air passengers grounded in a small Canadian town in the wake of 9/11, and the Newfoundland community that invited these ‘come from aways’ into their lives. A reflection on friendship, hope and gratitude, it has witnessed sold-out crowds, including on Broadway and in London’s West End.
After a decade of moving audiences worldwide, Cunard is now bringing this uplifting display of resilience and understanding to the high seas.
John Brant, producer of “Come from Away,” said: “Even after ten years, it’s still incredible to see the impact this show has on people. Now more than ever, we believe it’s important to gather friends and family to see it together, with the hope that it inspires them to find common ground in their lives. This partnership with Cunard is a meaningful opportunity to bring our story to new corners of the world, and we can’t wait for passengers to experience it for themselves.”
“Come From Away” will be performed in Queen Elizabeth’s majestic Royal Court Theatre twice during each voyage, with matinee and evening performances available. This exclusive production has been specially crafted for the stage at sea, featuring one hour and 40 minutes of storytelling, music and an ensemble of 12 talented stage performers. New and returning “Come from Away” fans will be wowed by a fresh perspective that remains true to the magic of the original production.
