This theatre/opera house is a delight for the senses. They show a variety of world-class shows, such as Billy Elliott, South Pacific, and Camelot, in a truly gorgeous building that really adds to the overall experience. The building has existed since the mid-19th century, and you can feel the history of some of the shows that originated here, like Man of La Mancha. The acting/singing and the orchestra are consistently superb, which is really a testament to the theatre that it can attract such high-quality talent. It's set right in the heart of East Haddam, next to the Gelston House restaurant (great for a pre-show meal) and right on the scenic Connecticut River. Devils' Hopyard State Park and Gillette Castle State Park are both nearby.

Gillette Castle State Park

This 24-room mansion has undergone extensive renovations.

Reviewed By DreamTravelGuru - Montgomery, United States

If you like an outdoor adventure combined with a trip through the past. This was a great visit. The outdoor park has a number of trails to walk. you could spend as little as an hour or the whole day just walking the trails. The Gillette Castle itself is a wonder to visit. the unique architecture and history if fascinating. I loved all the personalized rooms he had created. We also took a ride on the Essex Train and River Boat. This gave a great view of the castle from the River. a unique view, you cannot get anywhere else.
