BRIGHT STAR
Inspired By A True Story Music, Book, Lyrics & Story by Steve Martin Edie Brickell BRIGHT STAR is inspired by a real event and featuring the Grammy-nominated score by Steven Martin and Edie Brickell, Bright Star tells a sweeping tale of love and redemption set against the rich backdrop of the Blue Ridge Mountains. Bright Star is the story of Alice, a woman at two different points in her life; the first, when she is a wild young teenager growing up barefoot and carefree; the second, when she is a well-to-do magazine editor 22 years later. The story unfolds as a rich tapestry of deep emotion, beautiful melodies and powerfully moving performances. An uplifting theatrical journey that holds you tight in its grasp, BRIGHT STAR is as refreshingly genuine as it is daringly hopeful. Rating-PG (Some adult themes) |
