Ridgefield Playhouse: Gordon Lightfoot: When he wrote these songs in his early thirties …“Early Morning Rain,” “If You Could Read My Mind,” “Carefree Highway,” “Sundown,” “(That’s What You Get) For Lovin Me,” “The Wreck Of The Edmund Fitzgerald,” “Canadian Railroad Trilogy,” “Ribbon Of Darkness,” “Beautiful,” “Song For A Winter’s Night” and “Rainy Day People”… did he know that he would still be performing them when he was 80?

You don’t have to be young to make these songs sound great. Gordon Lightfoot, a WTD Fave Rave to be sure.

About the Ridgefield Playhouse

We like to call The Ridgefield Playhouse the hardest working venue around. With a seating capacity of 536 seats, compared to 1,8oo for The Capitol Theatre or 1,500 for Paramount Hudson Valley, they can’t rely on a couple of “good gates” a week to pay the rent. Instead, they’re booking every day of the year, except Christmas.

In fact they book 200-225 live shows a year. And they fill in with on-screen events (art house movies and documentaries, Metropolitan Opera, Bolshoi Ballet or National Theatre on screen HD presentations) on the days when they don’t have a live show. But their size may be a blessing in disguise. For them and their patrons. Because it enables them to tap into a wide range of musical talent. And serve up the best lineup.
