The Sunday Giveaway: Two tickets to Goodspeed’s The Theory of Relativity!

You know summer is approaching when I’m giving away tickets to a Goodspeed show!

The Goodspeed Opera House is one of the country’s most beautiful seasonal theaters in one of the country’s most beautiful locales . . . but the theater is more than that.  It has also produced some of the country’s most successful musicals, having given birth to shows like Annie and Man of La Mancha.

And now they are debuting another new musical at their Norma Terris Theatre (where my own 13 tried out years ago), that, who knows, could be the country’s next big hit.

It’s called The Theory of Relativity and it’s described as “an unconventional new musical by Drama Desk Award nominees Neil Bartram and Brian Hill that is a joyous and moving look at our surprisingly interconnected lives.  Whether you’re allergic to cats, in love for the first or tenth time, a child of divorce, a germaphobe, or simply a unique individual, you’re sure to find yourself in this fresh new musical!”

If you haven’t been to Goodspeed, you gotta get out there, and I’m gonna give you two tickets for this show for free to help you make your plans.

And here’s how you win ’em.

I just finished moderating a panel on developing new musicals, and everyone on the panel and in the audience agreed that the development of musicals takes too dang long.  Five years, ten years, twenty dang years, in some cases.  That’s a quarter of a lifetime that people can spend working on one show!

Tell me, in the comments below, what can we do to speed up musical development?  Tell me what you think we can do to add some gas to the musical fire and you could be on your way to Goodspeed.

Gooood luck!
