Perth audiences will have the chance to see four graduates of the Western Australian Academy Of Performing Arts (WAAPA) in the worldwide smash hit, Tony and Olivier award-winning musical COME FROM AWAY when Zoe Gertz, Doug Hansell, Natalie O’Donnell and Noni Mc Callum bring to life the incredible true story of 7000 air passengers who became grounded in Gander, Newfoundland during the wake of September 11.
COME FROM AWAY will open at Perth’s Crown Theatre from 6 May.
Zoe Gertz, Doug Hansell, Natalie O’Donnell and Noni McCallum join an outstanding ensemble including Kyle Brown, Manon Gunderson-Briggs, Kat Harrison, Joe Kosky, Phillip Lowe, Joseph Naim, Sarah Nairne, Emma Powell, David Silvestri, together with Kaya Byrne, Jeremy Carver-James, Michael Lee Porter, Alana Tranter and Jasmine Vaughns.
Melbourne has had a love affair with this world class production, taking the city by storm when the musical premiered in July 2019. Enjoying months of standing ovations and universal acclaim, it went on to break box office records to become the most successful production in the Comedy Theatre’s 94-year history. Since opening in Sydney in June 2021 and immediately garnering rapturous reviews and accolades from audiences, the musical has continued to break box office records in both Canberra and Newcastle.
Perth audiences will now finally get the chance to see this joyous world class production, which has been loved thousands across the country.
Based on the incredible real-life events in the wake of the September 11, COME FROM AWAY is an inspiring musical about unity and kindness in adversity. Set in Gander, Newfoundland where 38 planes carrying nearly 7,000 people from over 100 countries were redirected during this traumatic event, almost doubling the population of the remote Canadian town. Capturing the generosity and hospitality of the small community of Gander who invited the “come from aways” into their homes, it is an uplifting story of hope and humanity.
