Goodspeed Opera House


 

In 1959 an organization, the Goodspeed Musicals, was formed to restore the old Goodspeed Opera House, located in East Haddam, Connecticut, to its original Victorian appearance and elegance. The opera house was originally built by a local merchant and banker, William Goodspeed, in 1876. The opera house was finished in 1877 and its first play Charles II opened on October 24, 1877. During the first World War, the opera house was used to house the Connecticut state militia. It had also been used a general store and a Department of Transportation storage facility before the Goodspeed Musicals group purchased it in 1959. The restoration project took nearly four years and the Goodspeed Opera House was rededicated on June 18, 1963. The first performance in the new opera house was Oh, Lady! Lady!.
