Epic Stories on the Epic Stage - Musicals
Across more than a century of iconic musicals, countless shows have taught us to sing, dance, love, laugh, and cry. But how many famous productions can truly be called “epic”? In this series, we’ll explore three of Broadway’s most renowned musicals - stories so epic they actually happened.
Come From Away (2015) – the true story of 7,000 airline passengers stranded in Gander, Newfoundland, after the 9/11 attacks in 2001. When 38 planes were diverted, the town nearly doubled in size overnight, and residents welcomed the “come from aways” (strangers), offering food, shelter, and comfort. The musical highlights epic themes of community, kindness, and unity in a time of crisis.
