Thursday, May 23th and Tuesday, June 18th- Trip to The Music Man at the Goodspeed Opera House, East Haddam, CT

Departure: 10:45am, Returns 5:30pm

This trip has minimal walking.

First, enjoy a delicious lunch at Olive Garden (lunch on your own).  Following lunch, a short ride will bring you to the beautiful Goodspeed Opera House for the delightful musical The Music Man.  Set along the tranquil Connecticut River, the Goodspeed Opera House was built in 1876 by William Goodspeed.  This intimate theater brings you closer to the excitement of live musicals and will delight, inspire and entertain you with their shows!
The Music Man ~ You got trouble in River City!  Professor Harold Hill and Marian the Librarian march into a rousing new production of this great American musical.  When huckster Harold promises to save an Iowa town by selling the dream of a boys’ band, Marian is the only skeptic.  Until she starts to buy his pitch.  Fall in love all over again with “76 Trombones,” “The Wells Fargo Wagon,” “Trouble” and “Till There Was You.”  A glorious classic that will have you parading in the streets!

This trip will be using the Senior Center bus for transportation.
You are responsible to find your own ride to the Senior Center before and after the trip.
COST: $65 per person  includes The Music Man side orchestra ticket and transportation.  Lunch is on your own.  Limited tickets available.

 A second date may be added.  Call Hilary for availability (860) 889-5960
