BRIGADOON
Book and Lyrics by Alan Jay Lerner; Music by Frederick Loewe; Original dances created by Agnes de Mille
One of the most intriguing and delightful aspects of a musical show is its ability to open up a whole new world to both its audience and cast. The show that does this better than any other is BRIGADOON. This is a Scottish fantasy about a town that disappears into the Highland mist and returns for only one day every one hundred years. Songs include: Waitin’ for My Dearie, I’ll Go Home with Bonnie Jean, Come to Me, Bend to Me, Almost Like Being in Love, There But for You Go I, The Heather on the Hill and My Mother’s Weddin’ Day. This is a tribute to simplicity, goodness and the power of true love.
Tim Perrino, Director; Steve Goers, Music Director; Christine Steele and Kelcey Steele; Co-Choreographers; Holly Davis, Production Stage Manager
