Goodspeed Opera House

Since 1963, Goodspeed Musicals has produced Broadway classics out of this stunning gingerbread Victorian castle along the Connecticut River. This was the original home of shows like Annie and Man of La Mancha, and the company, which has won two Tony Awards for outstanding achievement, produces about half a dozen musicals per year. Don't miss the annual "Festival of New Artists" if you want to get an early look at tomorrow's Broadway hits.
