Single Tickets Go on Sale This Sunday for Goodspeed's 2015 Season

Don't miss your chance to get the best seats at the greatest values for each of the three fantastic musicals during the upcoming 2015 season at the Goodspeed Opera House. Unprecedented demand is expected when tickets go on sale for the new season so audience members are encouraged to call right away. The Box Office will open at 10 a.m. this Sunday offering great deals on three dance-filled musicals that are sure to delight theatre-goers: roll the dice with Broadway blockbuster Guys and Dolls; celebrate the best of times with La Cage aux Folles; enjoy laugh-out-loud antics in the world premiere of The Honeymooners, a new musical based on the legendary CBS television series.

Luck be a lady tonight! Times Square's most colorful characters make their first appearance at Goodspeed in a brassy new staging of the American musical comedy classic. The bet of a lifetime puts a hardboiled gambler in the arms of a Save-a-Soul mission worker in the neon-kissed valentine to the saints and sinners of New York. The alleys echo with the swinging sound of "Sit Down, You're Rockin' the Boat," "A Bushel and a Peck," "If I Were a Bell" and more. Bring your dice along!

Guys and Dolls features music and lyrics by Frank Loesser, book by Jo Swerling and Abe Burrows, and is based on a story and characters of Damon Runyon. This classic American musical that really swings will be sponsored by The Shops at Mohegan Sun.

Jerry Herman's glittering show tunes overflow in the outrageous tale of a family of cabaret performers led by partners Georges and Albin. When their son brings home his fiancée and the future in-laws, the limits of love, parenthood and mascara are put to the test. Tender romance and wild laughter are center stage as the Riviera's most delicious drag nightclub bursts to life in its Goodspeed debut. Expect "The Best of Times" from the Tony Award-winning composer of Hello, Dolly! and Mame.

La Cage aux Folles features music and lyrics by Jerry Herman, book by Harvey Fierstein and is based on the play by Jean Poiret. Heartwarming and outrageously funny, La Cage aux Folles will be sponsored by Amica and Goodspeed's official audio sponsor Senniheiser.

Ralph Kramden and his buddy Ed Norton are back and still shooting for the moon in this world-premiere musical. After shocking their wives by winning a high profile jingle contest, they are catapulted out of Brooklyn and into the cutthroat world of Madison Avenue, where they find themselves torn between success and friendship. Filled with warmth, laughs, and an infectious score, The Honeymooners is a new musical comedy that will bang-zoom its way into theatergoers' hearts.

With book by Dusty Kay and Bill Nuss, music by Stephen Weiner and lyrics by Peter Mills, The Honeymooners is being presented in association with Jeffrey Finn Productions, and under a license from CBS Broadcasting, Inc. The Honeymooners will be sponsored by Connecticare, Comcast, Eversource Energy and Updike, Kelly, Spellacy LLC.
