Welcome to the rock-a safe space at the end of the world. Nominated for 7 Tony Awards, including Best Musical and Best Original Score. Chicago-area Premiere. 9/11/2001… 38 airplanes, 6,579 stranded passengers from 100 countries, 1 small town in Newfoundland. Before they have a clue, what’s happening, thousands of passengers are diverted to the town of Gander, doubling its population and putting the townsfolk to the test.
