(May 25, 2025) — Goodspeed Musicals held a ribbon-cutting ceremony on May 16, 2025 making its 150-year-old home, The Goodspeed in East Haddam, more welcoming and accessible for patrons.
The project features a renovated front entrance, which includes a new ADA ramp, an expanded porch, automatic-open front doors, energy-efficient lighting, new landscaping, and a statue of Sandy (photo above, right), the dog from Annie (which got its start at The Goodspeed) in honor of Tony Award-winning animal trainer Bill Berloni, as well as a completely redesigned and improved parking area.
