Original musical production 'Gold Can't Love You Back' opens in Nevada City

Dec. 7—The Stone House in Nevada City, in partnership with House of Fates, will be presenting an original production centered around the historic Gold Rush era. Described as an immersive and interactive musical experience, "Gold Can't Love You Back" opens today to join the growingly popular Nevada City Victorian Christmas season.

"Gold Can't Love You Back" was written by Nevada City locals Ryan Wink, Jessica Brugnon, and Cosmo Merryweather with music by Sky Seals and Ryan Wink. Over the eight performances, guests will be whisked away to a time of fortune-seekers and legends

in the making.

With its interactive format, the musical promises not just a show but an entire experience, engaging guests directly in the drama and excitement of the time. Audience members will encounter a whole host of characters from the gritty miners and charismatic "ladies of the night" to the affluent gold barons and daring outlaws of the Wild West.

To fully embrace the spirit of the era, western attire isn't just welcomed, it's encouraged. The show will run for two weeks with performances scheduled at 8:30 p.m. on Thursdays, Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays. A special matinee performance will also be held at 2 p.m. on Dec. 16. Doors will open 30 minutes before each show and reservations are highly recommended due to limited seating.

Organizers encourage attendees to enjoy the Nevada City Victorian Christmas and dinner at The Stone House in downtown Nevada City prior to the show. The Stone House is located at 107 Sacramento St. in Nevada City. For more information, visit stonehouse.io/shows.
