Because of Winn Dixie

Jun 28 – Sep 5, 2019 / The Goodspeed - 6 Main Street, East Haddam, CT 06423 view map

Not since Annie has a stray dog inspired such joyful noise! In a Southern town filled with lost souls, a new leash on life is just around the corner when a preacher and his daughter take in a mutt named Winn Dixie. The beloved, award-winning novel about a quirky community learning to get along now sings for the first time in this uplifting new musical. Let Grammy and Tony winner Duncan Sheik (Spring Awakening) and Tony nominee Nell Benjamin (Legally Blonde, Mean Girls) take you on a heartwarming adventure for all ages.

Please note that there is a live dog in this show who will appear on stage and in the auditorium.  If you have a Service Animal as defined by the ADA, please contact the Box Office immediately.  In order to ensure your safety and the safety of your Service Animal, we must seat you in an appropriate location.  Also note that the dog and his understudy are both hypoallergenic.
