Watch cast of Come From Away London perform at Olivier Awards 2019

The cast of Come From Away’s London West End production performed live on the Olivier Awards 2019 at the weekend.

With a score and book written by Irene Sankoff and David Hein, Come From Away proved a huge hit on Broadway before transferring to the West End in 2019.

The award winning play shares the touching real-life story of the 7,000 air passengers from all over the world who were grounded in Canada during the wake of 9/11, and the small Newfoundland community that invited these ‘come from aways’ into their lives.

The cast of 12 together with the Come From Away band performed live at the Olivier Awards, singing opening song Welcome To The Rock.
