Dames at Sea (Goodspeed Opera)

The highly acclaimed regional revival production of 'Dames at Sea' brought the bright, tap-dancing optimism and whimsical pastiche numbers of the musical comedy to the stage of the historic Goodspeed Opera House. Featuring Jim Wise, George Haimsohn, and Robin Miller’s iconic score, the production adapted the Busby Berkeley cinematic style into an intimate, technically dazzling regional presentation. The narrative tracks a plucky chorus girl who steps into the spotlight on the deck of a battleship to save an opening night, universalizing standards like "Broadway Baby" and "Raining in My Heart" under the precise direction of regional stage veterans, capturing a major commercial success.
