WHO’S WHO

DONNA LYNN HILTON (Artistic Director) [she/her] with Goodspeed since 1988 and in her 4th season as Artistic Director, is a highly-effective creative producer with a significant record of leading, developing and producing new musical theatre works as well as inspiring a re-envisioning of the canon. She led the creation of many of Goodspeed’s most successful productions of recent years, including last season’s Summer Stock, 2022’s 42nd Street and the 2014 world premiere of Irving Berlin’s Holiday Inn. She inspired the creation of Goodspeed’s critically-acclaimed production of Show Boat and brought to The Goodspeed the new musicals The 12, Anne of Green Gables, Because of Winn Dixie, and this season’s Maggie. At The Terris Theatre, she has led the early development of many new musicals, among them Private Jones and Passing Through. Donna Lynn led the creation of The Johnny Mercer Foundation Writers Grove, the partnership with The Johnny Mercer Foundation which has welcomed over 400 musical theatre composers, lyricists and librettists to Goodspeed’s campus in winter for one of the premiere development opportunities available to emerging musical theatre writers. With the development of Hi, My Name Is Ben, she led Goodspeed’s first collaboration with a resident theatre outside the US—Scotland’s Dundee Rep Theatre—and recently helped re-envision The Writers Grove for Scottish, UK and Indian writers on the campus at Cove Park, in Scotland. Through Goodspeed’s Festival of New Musicals she hosted the first US development of the international hit Come From Away. Donna Lynn is a past-president of the National Alliance for Musical Theatre; serves as a Trustee for Dundee Rep Theatre/Scottish Dance Ensemble and, closer to home, CT Landmarks. Donna Lynn began her career as a stage manager of Musical Theatre and Opera and remains a proud member of Actors Equity Association. She and her husband, Sound Designer Jay Hilton, make their home in Hadlyme with Cookie and Macy.

ACTORS’ EQUITY ASSOCIATION, founded in 1913, represents more than 51,000 actors and stage managers in the US. Equity negotiates wages and working conditions, providing a wide range of benefits, including health and pension plans. Equity seeks to foster the art of live theater as an essential component of our society.

Sets, costumes, and props are designed especially for The Goodspeed and are built in Goodspeed Musicals’ shops.

Goodspeed Musicals is a professional theatre operating under an agreement between the League of Resident Theatres and Actors’ Equity Association, the Union of Professional Actors and Stage Managers in the United States.

Orchestra members are represented by The Connecticut Valley Federation of Musicians, AFM Local 400.

Goodspeed Musicals is a member of The League of Resident Theatres.

The scenic, costume, lighting and sound designers in LORT Theatres are represented by United Scenic Artists, Local USA-829 of the IATSE.

GOODSPEED’S MISSION STATEMENT

Goodspeed Musicals’ mission is to share the joy of musical theatre; to delight, inspire, and challenge audiences; to nurture creators; and to build and support a broad, diverse, and inclusive community.

LAND ACKNOWLEDGEMENT

The land on which Goodspeed Musicals is located in East Haddam and Chester, CT is the ancestral land of at least three tribes of Native Americans—the Wangunk, the Mohegan and the Nehantic tribes. We understand that the land which is now Haddam and East Haddam, was purchased from the native people in 1662 for thirty coats—worth about $100. We acknowledge those native Americans and the loss of their homeland—land on which we thrive today.

The brilliance of The Mystery of Edwin Drood lives in its wonderfully smart humor, colorful characters, and unique connection to audiences.

When the show made its Broadway debut in 1985, there had never been a musical where the audience chose the ending by a vote count. The voting is completely authentic, and the cast has rehearsed all the possible scenarios to be ready for where the audience wants the story to go. But that is only one part of what makes Drood so special. What I love most is how the cast and audience interact with the show at that particular performance. What you will experience will only happen on that day, at that time…a completely one-of-a-kind experience.

The Goodspeed is a particularly wonderful theater to experience Drood not only because of the natural intimacy of the room, but in so many ways the space mirrors the English Music Halls that the show takes place in. The story is told as a “show within a show” which allows for a great deal of fun shifting between those worlds, and provides the performers wonderful freedom in storytelling.

“And it matters not to me what part of town you’ve come from… We but cheer you’ve made it here at all!”

Drood is also a love letter to audiences― and a true celebration of that very special connection between the actors and everyone who came to see them. The musical invites the performers to be bold, funny and daring―and because your relationship with the actors feels connected and familiar, you feel an investment that you don’t feel in many

making this happen and how it all turns out!

And in these particularly challenging (and often stressful) times, Drood offers a marvelous escape―a place where you can lose yourselves in a wonderful story, escape from the pressures of the day, and just have a great time.

The story itself is very unique because it was truthfully “unfinished.” Charles Dickens passed away when he was only about halfway through writing it. And writer/composer Rupert Holmes took full advantage of this opportunity! This obstacle inspired him to create a totally unexpected musical never before seen on Broadway. He not only leaned into the challenge of using an unfinished work by Dickens, but he made the inspired decision to shift the tone of the show to be much more joyous and playful than the novel. The result speaks for itself. The musical is much more than a whodunit, however―it’s a joyous ride that effortlessly charms and engages.

Come for the ride―it’s one you won’t soon forget!
