Goodspeed Musicals will present The Snow Goose as its third production of the 2026 season. The Snow Goose will run from August 28 to October 18 at The Goodspeed in East Haddam, Connecticut.
On the windswept coast of England an unlikely bond forms between Philip, a reclusive artist shunned by society, and Frith, a resilient young woman, when they rescue a wounded snow goose. With World War II looming, their friendship allows her to imagine a life beyond her village and him to confront his own humanity as he sets sail on a daring journey to save soldiers trapped at Dunkirk. Discover an unforgettable new musical with a soaring score that will fill your heart.
