In its history, the organization has produced over 250 musicals, including over 70 world premieres, and exported 21 productions to Broadway. They were also intent on adding to the repertoire by discovering and nurturing promising new musicals presented at both the Opera House and the Norma Terris Theatre in neighboring Chester. At first, Goodspeed’s commitment was to discover rarely produced musicals, reworking them and bringing them to life. Under the direction of Michael Price from 1968 to 2014, Goodspeed transformed from a struggling entity into a non-profit arts organization with a mission. Goodspeed dates its beginnings to 1963 when it opened its doors as a professional musical theatre in an historic building (originally built in 1857) on the banks of the Connecticut River in East Haddam, CT.
