In The Circus in the Winter, according to Goodspeed, "legend and lore collide under the big top. Love, lust, betrayal, and tragedy unfold in a series of interwoven stories that reveal the private lives of a death-defying acrobat, sideshow African queen, lonely circus owner, disheveled clowns, and more. With a rootsy, folk rock score, this is one musical that you must not miss!"

That description sort of makes me okay with intentionally missing it. Sounds like a Side Show-Matilda-Pippin mashup inspired by The Greatest Show on Earth.

I heard some of the music as it was being developed and I am familiar with the book it used as source material. If it is anything like it was in Indiana, it's probably going to be pretty good. I'm kinda sad that I am missing it.
