Gutted to see this close but what an impressive run for a new, original musical. Catch it before it closes if you can 🌙
Our journey to the West End has been truly extraordinary...and to celebrate, we're extending ONE more time! But it is often said that time and tide wait for no man, and for that reason, we must end our run at @Ambtheatre on Saturday 11th October. Final tickets just released. ⚓️

Review: ★★★★★ - Come From Away - UK Tour at @NewWimbTheatre Theatre is at its most moving and powerful when it brings us together, a shared experience that reminds us of what unites us rather than divides us. @ComeFromAwayUK is the epitome of this https://t.co/WP1XUXMg1X
