"Funny and bittersweet, Snapshots
brings into focus all the wonders and frustrations of trusting your
heart and believing your memories." Drama Desk Award nominee Karen Mason
and Tony Award nominee Mark Jacoby lead the cast of the fall 2013
production of Snapshots: A Musical Scrapbook at Goodspeed's Norma Terris Theatre. The production opens October 24 and runs through November 17.
Snapshots
tells the story of Sue, who is about to leave Dan, her husband of about
twenty years. As Sue retrieves some items from the attic, Dan
unexpectedly comes home early. Before Sue can tell Dan that their
marriage is over, they come across some photographs that stir up
memories from their past, which then comes alive in front of them. The
circumstances and emotions associated with each picture play out as the
couple watches two sets of their younger selves, school-aged Danny and
Susie, and young adults Daniel and Susan.
Few musicals could boast a stronger score than Snapshots.
This romantic comedy blends some of the best-loved music from composer
Stephen Schwartz’s Broadway shows (Wicked, Pippin, Godspell, The Baker’s
Wife) with some of his lesser known gems. Featuring fresh lyrics and
orchestrations, the couple discovers the humorous twists of how love
united them and why life has pushed them apart. Every couple will see
themselves in Snapshots! For tickets click here.
For
almost 30 years, The Norma Terris Theatre has been Goodspeed’s home for
developing fresh, innovative, and original new musicals. These new
works have been developed right here in Chester before they’ve moved on
to other theatres. Because this is a developmental theatre, the show can
change on a day-to-day basis. New scenes are added, songs are moved,
costumes are changed, dialogue is tweaked - all based on audience
response and feedback. Be a part of the process and be among the first
to enjoy the Broadway hits of tomorrow.
