Has anyone heard anything about The Story of My Life at the Goodspeed? I was thinking of making the trip up to see it, but hadn't heard anything about it. Does anyone have any info?
Thanks.

It's aiming for a Broadway transfer after its run at Goodspeed, and it stars Malcolm Gets and Will Chase (both of whom are fantastic).

I don't know much about the story or score, unfortunately.

I saw it when they tried it out in Toronto 2 years ago. Amazing score. One that will have fans dsalivating for a cast album. The show as played in Toronto was a little overlong (one act, 1 hour 45 min) but if they cut 15-20 minutes it would be fine.

In a word: Go.

I love this show SO MUCH. I'm really sad I won't be able to make it out to Goodspeed during the run.

Oh, I love Malcom Gets! What happened to Jaystarr? Did I miss something? Usually he sees Goodspeed shows.

I saw the goodspeed production just last week and I must say it is just truly brilliant in every form. The score is brilliant, the story, heart-wrenching and touching, the set is simple yet masterfully effective and interesting and then you have the two actors, who simply outdo themselves in everyway. Gets gives a beautiful performance as the conflicted homebody and Chase is equally astounding as his best friend turned big shot author. I could not reccommend it more. It was one of the finest shows I have seen in a long time and I hope it does transfer because this musical has earned it. It truly is a show that captures what broadway and musical theater is about.

I've heard that "Mrs. Remington" song performed at a bunch of different shows, and I must say, it makes me cry every time!
