"Lerner and Loewe's Brigadoon"
August 10-13, 2023
Book and Lyrics by Alan Jay Lerner

This timeless, romantic classic inspired the classic MGM film. New Yorker Tommy Albright unexpectedly arrives at the mysterious Scottish Highland village of Brigadoon, which only appears for one day every 100 years. When Tommy meets and falls in love with Fiona, a beautiful villager in this magical hamlet, he must decide whether to return to his old life, or stay in Brigadoon — forever.
LERNER AND LOEWE’S BRIGADOON is presented through special arrangement with Music Theatre International (MTI). All authorized performance materials are also supplied by MTI. www.mtishows.com
