Jennifer Holliday, who became a Tony-winning star with her turn in the original “Dreamgirls” on Broadway, will perform at Goodspeed Musicals’ 60th Anniversary Gala & Auction on June 12 under a tent on the Goodspeed lawn in East Haddam.

The gala will begin with a cocktail reception at 5:30 p.m., followed by a four-course dinner provided by Riverhouse Catering. Entertainment will occur throughout the evening along with a live auction of unique experiences. The evening’s fundraising will be in support of Goodspeed’s 60th Anniversary with an emphasis on their support and development of new musicals.

The 60th Anniversary Gala & Auction will culminate in the Goodspeed Opera House with a concert by Holliday accompanied by Goodspeed’s Resident Music Director Adam Souza and a seven-piece band.

Gala tickets, which start at $500, may be purchased via mmiko@goodspeed.org or (860) 615-0368 as well as online at goodspeed.org/gala.

Tickets for just the concert, at 8:30 p.m., are available in the balcony for $100 and $200.
