ABOUT THE SHOW
A "BRIGHT STAR" is a musical that takes its audience on an uplifting journey through the heart of the Blue Ridge Mountains.
With an award-winning bluegrass score by Steve Martin and Edie Brickell, "BRIGHT STAR" is a story of love, loss and redemption set against the backdrop of the 1920s and 1940s American South.
When literary editor Alice Murphy meets a young soldier just home from World War II, he awakens her longing for the child she once lost.
Haunted by their unique connection, Alice sets out on a journey to understand her past — and what she finds has the power to transform both of their lives.
With its soaring ballads, upbeat bluegrass numbers and Steve Martin's smart and funny dialogue, "BRIGHT STAR" is an exceptional musical!
