Following lunch, enjoy the 2pm matinee performance of Chasing Rainbows: The Road to Oz at the Goodspeed Opera House.  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!

Chasing Rainbows: The Road to Oz ~ An awkward girl with a golden voice blossoms into Judy Garland in this new musical about the bumpy road to “Oz”. The musical chronicles the early life of Judy Garland as it follows her (and her family) from their home in Minnesota through the vaudeville circuit and to Hollywood.  The future superstar’s complicated life comes alive with heartbreak, hope and the music that made her famous.  “I Can’t Give You Anything But Love”, “You Made Me Love You” and “Over the Rainbow”.  Meet stars from the Golden Age of Hollywood like Clark Gable, Lana Turner, Deanna Durbin, Mickey Rooney, Jean Harlow, and Shirley Temple, experience the rush of stardom as Judy Garland is cast in The Wizard of Oz, and understand what ultimately drove this extraordinary woman to become a legend.
