Broadway’s ‘shining achievement’ Bright Star is a musical about the stories we tell….and the ones we don’t.
Inspired by a real event and featuring the Tony-Nominated Score by Steve Martin and Edie Brickell, this enchanting musical tells a sweeping tale of love and redemption set against the backdrop of the American South in the 1920s and 40s. This rich tapestry weaves together two chapters in the life of literary editor, Alice Murphy. When Alice meets a young soldier just home from World War II, their unique connection sets her on a journey to understand her past – what she discovers has the power to transform both of their lives.
