Snapshots!

"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.
