Presented by SimG Productions and Musical Theatre Radio, the Come From Away One Night Only event on YouTube on 19 December 2020 will follow on from similar online reunions of the team behind From Here To Eternity, and Everybody’s Talking About Jamie and the celebration of the 1998 premiere production of Saturday Night Fever.

Hosted by director and producer Simon Greiff, the unique event series features live-streamed discussion and Q&A sessions with the cast and creatives from major musicals. All profits from the One Night Only series are donated to Acting For Others, the umbrella organisation which provides financial and emotional support to theatre industry workers in need through its 14 member charities.
Inspired by the remarkable true story of the 7,000 stranded air passengers who found refuge in a small Canadian town in the immediate aftermath of the 9/11 terror attack, the show that celebrates man’s humanity at a time when the world was horrified by the depths of its inhumanity, landed at London’s Phoenix Theatre in late January 2019 following a limited engagement at the Abbey Theatre in Dublin.
Come From Away has won multiple awards including four Oliviers including Best New Musical, the Tony Award for Best Direction of a Musical for director Ashley, five Outer Critics Circle Awards, three Drama Desk, four Helen Hayes Awards, six San Diego Critics Circle Awards and three Toronto Theatre Critics Awards
