 | CARNIVAL! - The magical and heart-warming tale of a naïve young woman who eagerly joins a traveling circus. Surrounded by a riot of acrobats and jugglers, music makers and clowns, she is dazzled at first by the troupe’s manipulative magician. In the end she finds happiness with a disillusioned puppeteer who can only express himself through his delightful puppets. Based on the film Lili and with songs like “Love Makes the World Go Round” and "Her Face," Carnival! casts a romantic spell over the entire audience. Through September 18 at Goodspeed Opera House in East Haddam. |
 | RADIO GIRL - A new musical by the composer of Dreamgirls. Rebecca is a spunky ten year old with a "can do" attitude and enormous talent. She doesn't let anything get her down . . . not even living during the Depression, and especially not her cantankerous Aunt Miranda! With charm, street smarts, pluck, and a glorious voice, Rebecca triumphs as Lucky Little Radio Girl and lifts the spirits of America. Based on Rebecca of Sunnybrook Farm, everyone will fall in love with Radio Girl! Through August 22 at The Norma Terris Theatre. |
