Perched on the banks of the Connecticut River in the tiny village of East Haddam, the Goodspeed Opera House is an enchanting Victorian jewel that has been nurturing the American musical since its revival in 1963. This intimate six-story Second Empire landmark, originally built in 1876, has launched more new musicals to Broadway than any other theatre in the country, including Man of La Mancha and Annie. Its dedication to developing and preserving the musical theatre canon makes it a pilgrimage site for devotees of the art form.
