After one of its most successful seasons ever, two-time Tony Award-winning Goodspeed Musicals announced today that its 2015 season will feature the world premiere of The Honeymooners and two classic musicals that are all sure to send theatergoers to the moon!

Times Square's most colorful characters make their first appearance at the Goodspeed Opera House in Guys and Dolls which will run from April 10 - June 20; the Riviera's most delicious drag nightclub bursts to life in La Cage aux Folles which will run from June 26 - September 6; and America's most famous bus driver takes the stage in The Honeymooners, a new musical based on the legendary CBS television series which will run from September 18 - November 29, 2015.

Guys and Dolls has music and lyrics by Frank Loesser, book by Jo Swerling and Abe Burrows, and is based on a story and characters by Damon Runyon. This classic American musical that swings with songs like "Luck Be A Lady" and "Sit Down You're Rockin' The Boat" will be directed by Don Stephenson, who directed the recent Avery Fisher Hall Concert of Titanic and has appeared on Broadway in multiple productions.

La Cage aux Folles features music and lyrics by Jerry Herman, book by Harvey Fierstein and is based on the play by Jean Poiret. Heartwarming and outrageously funny, La Cage aux Folles will be directed by Rob Ruggiero who is well known to Goodspeed audiences for such hits as Carousel, Show Boat, Camelot, 1776, and this season's smash-hit production of Fiddler on the Roof.

The Honeymooners will be directed by Tony Award-winner John Rando (On The Town, A Christmas Story, Urinetown), with book by Dusty Kay & Bill Nuss, music by Stephen Weiner and lyrics by Peter Mills. Ralph Kramden and Ed Norton are back and still shooting for the moon in this world-premiere musical. Filled with big laughs and an infectious score, The Honeymooners will bang-zoom its way into theatergoers' hearts. The Honeymooners is being presented in association with Jeffrey Finn Productions, and under a license from CBS Broadcasting, Inc.

Advance season subscriptions are now on sale through the Box Office (860.873.8668), open seven days a week. Subscription prices range from $81 - $222 at the Goodspeed Opera House for one person, all three shows. Single tickets go on public sale beginning February 15, 2015.
