During The Tony Awards, the cast of "Come From Away" performed "Welcome to the Rock."
It only won one out of its seven Tony nominations, including a nomination for Best Musical, for Best Direction of a Musical for its director, Christopher Ashley.
"Come From Away" star Jenn Colella lost the best featured actress in a musical Tony to Rachel Bay Jones of "Dear Evan Hansen."
The show also lost out on the best lighting design of a musical award to Bradley King of "Natasha, Pierre & The Great Comet of 1812."
“Come From Away” is set in Gander in the aftermath of the Sept. 11 attacks.
The remote East Coast town saw its population double in size as it sheltered 6,579 passengers and crew from planes diverted when U.S. air space was closed.
Directed by Christopher Ashley, the show includes a book, music and lyrics by Irene Sankoff and David Hein.
