NEW YORK - Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau along with first daughter Ivanka Trump as a guest welcomed a new musical that celebrates Canadian compassion and openness to international travelers following the Sept 11 attacks.

Trudeau and Trump and about 120 ambassadors from around the world attended the show Come From Away on Wednesday night at the Gerald Schoenfeld Theatre, in a city where the bulk of the 3,000 people on 9/11 died.

The musical is set in the small town of Gander, which opened its arms and homes to some 7,000 airline passengers diverted there when the Unied States government shut down its airspace. In a matter of a few hours, the town was overwhelmed by 38 planeloads of travelers from dozens of countries and religions, yet locals went to work in their kitchens and cleaned up spare rooms.
