The Broadway musical "Come From Away" opens this week in Charlotte.
The musical is based on events after the 9/11 attacks in Gander, a Newfoundland town where nearly 7,000 passengers were diverted to the Gander International Airport in Canada.
The story portrays the experiences of the stranded passengers in the days after 9/11 and how they were welcomed by the residents of Gander. The multiple Tony-nominated production hit Broadway in 2017.
We’ll be joined by the married Canadian team who wrote the musical and two of the actors in this production.
