Now through April 21 | Hippodrome Theatre

Come From Away

If you’re a fan of Broadway, don’t miss Come From Away at the Hippodrome. This inspiring show tells the story of stranded travelers on 9/11 and the kindness of a small Canadian town that took them in. It’s a powerful reminder of human connection, and it’ll leave you a little choked up, in a good way.
