We are transported to the enchanting green hills of Scotland, to a town of idyllic peace, which appears on no maps and magically comes to life for only one day in each century, then dissolving again into mist. BRIGADOON is a charming love story between a vacationing 20th century American who stumbles into this quaint village and a beautiful 17th century lassie who is still only 19 years old. This romantic fairy tale for the entire family had The New Yorker raving, “ a major achievement of the musical stage.” BRIGADOON has one of the most beguiling and melodic scores in all musical theatre, written by Alan Jay Lerner and Frederick Loewe – the creators of MY FAIR LADY and CAMELOT. Songs like “Come to Me, Bend to Me,” “The Heather on the Hill” and “Almost Like Being in Love” had the NY Daily News cheer that BRIGADOON “still has the power to enchant us with its outpourings of glorious songs.” The NY Herald Tribune called it “a musical fantasy of rare delight and fascination.”
