Video: 'Queen for a Day' From Goodspeed's MAGGIE

An all new video has been released from Maggie, now playing at Goodspeed. The ladies of Lanark wonder what it would be like to be "Queen for a Day" in this new song. Check out the video here!

Maggie is now playing through October 20. Maggie features a book by Matt Murray, a Toronto-based musical theatre book writer, playwright and lyricist; and Johnny Reid, the critically acclaimed Scottish-born singer-songwriter who has sold millions of albums worldwide and earned countless awards including a Grammy-nominated album and a SOCAN National Achievement Award.

A Scottish mother’s unbreakable love for her three sons is tested in an inspirational new musical about family bonds and changing times. After suffering the unthinkable loss of her husband, Maggie must rely on her strength, sense of humor and fiercely loyal friends to protect her family from a harsh and changing world.
