Meet the real Bob! Tom McKeon from New York was travelling home on September 11, 2001, when his flight was diverted to Gander, Newfoundland, Canada. Tom was one of the 'plane people' and his story inspired the character 'Bob' in the musical, Come From Away. You will love this story and Tom's gratitude to the people of Newfoundland.
This is part 2 of 3 of the Special Come From Away podcast. For the Australian premiere in Melbourne, the real people who inspired the musical was flown in for opening night. I was honoured to meet them all and I would be forever changed. *reposted from June 2019, updated for Sydney premiere
