Synopsis:

Written by Steve Martin (Yes, THAT Steve Martin) and Edie Brickell, Bright Star is set in the Blue Ridge Mountains of North Carolina and travels imaginatively between the time periods of 1945 and 1923. Billy Cane, a young soldier just home from WWII, meets Alice Murphy, the brilliant editor of The Asheville Southern Literary Journal. Together they discover a powerful secret that alters their lives. It's a beautiful story of love lost and found set to incredible bluegrass music. Bright Star was nominated for Five Tony Awards, six Drama Desk awards and seven Outer Critics Circle Awards winning The Drama Desk Outstanding Music award and the Outer Critics Circle Award for Outstanding New Broadway musical and Outstanding New Score. You will walk out singing.
