[title]Yep, you read that correctly: your dream trip to Canada could be just around the corner. Specifically, you’ll be going to Gander, Newfoundland. Where is this, you ask? It’s the town where the hit wholesome musical ‘Come From Away’ takes place – and it’s absolutely gorgeous.
If you haven’t yet seen the musical in London’s West End, ‘Come From Away’ – directed by Tony Award-winning Christopher Ashley alongside Olivier Award-winning writers Irene Sankoff and David Hein – shares the incredible true story of the 7,000 air passengers from all over the world who were grounded in Gander during the wake of 9/11. It’s a heartwarming, life-affirming tale of a small Newfoundland community that invited these ‘come from aways’ into their lives.
We gave it five stars, saying: “‘Come from Away’ creates a kind of temporary utopia: a little world where (almost) everyone is forced, by earth-shattering events hundreds of miles away, to come together and build a community based on principles of generosity and care.”
But we’re not just here to convince you to see ‘Come From Away’ (which runs until January 7, 2023 ). The prize does include two tickets to see the show in London, but the really special part is that you’ll also be flown to Gander. There, you’ll go to a special event at Gander Airport, and be there for the first night of the ‘Come From Away’ concerts happening in Gander. You’ll meet the writers of the show, stay in local accommodation, and also receive £500 spending money.
Sounds like a dream, right? Enter below, and good luck! Please note that the trip will take place from September 9-15, so winners will need to be available on those dates.
