Goodspeed Musicals Announces 2022 Season

Goodspeed Musicals has announced four exciting productions for the Tony Award-winning theatre’s 2022 season. Now in her second season as Goodspeed’s Artistic Director, Donna Lynn Hilton shared, “It is truly thrilling to announce a new Goodspeed season filled with engaging and moving musicals that will appeal to our loyal audiences and attract new theatregoers to the Goodspeed experience. We begin with an intimate production of a classic musical that is both engrossing and familiar, then the long awaited world premiere musical from a story loved by multiple generations, continue with a new production of a tap dance extravaganza and finish out the year with a brand new holiday show created just for the Goodspeed stage. The year promises to be Goodspeed at its best!”

Goodspeed will operate at full capacity in 2022. Additional safety protocols may be implemented based on CDC guidelines when the season begins.

This love letter to Broadway is the ultimate show biz fairy tale of the chorus kid who becomes an overnight star.
