The award-winning musical Come From Away has announced a final extension ahead of its West End closure.

Currently running at the Phoenix Theatre on Charing Cross Road, the hit musical details the lives of thousands of plane passengers marooned in Newfoundland after the events of 9/11, as well as the actions of the citizens who take them in.

The show will extend its run through to Saturday 7 January 2023, at which point it will conclude its London season, with a total of 1048 West End performances. It won the WhatsOnStage Award for Best New Musical in 2020.
