The Goodspeed Opera House is premiering a new musical version of the 1945 Hollywood rom-com "Christmas in Connecticut." The show, currently in previews, runs through Dec. 30.
"A Lovely Way to Die" is a workmanlike version of a very old plot. See if you recognize it: Young wife is accused of murdering rich old husband, hires wisecracking lawyer, who hires tough cop as bodyguard.
