EAST HADDAM, CT - Rags: An American Musical opens Saturday, Oct. 6 and runs through Dec. 10 at the Goodspeed Opera House. Shows run five days a week. Here's a description of the musical according to Goodspeed's website:

"Welcome to the new world! Fresh from Ellis Island, a young mother and her son search for a new life and a sense of home as the 20th century beckons. The streets of Manhattan’s Lower East Side may not be paved with gold, but they echo with the music of opportunity, optimism and hope. A ravishing score by the songwriters of Wicked and Annie colors a sweeping saga of America’s immigrant past. Celebrate our rich roots in Goodspeed’s new adaptation of a neglected masterpiece of the musical theatre."
