Cariou, Errico et al. Lead Irish Rep Brigadoon Benefit Concert, June 14

Tony winner Len Cariou, Jason Danieley and Melissa Errico are all set to star in a concert version of BRIGADOON on June 14.

The concert will be directed by Charlotte Moore, and benefit the Off-Broadway Irish Repertory Theatre.

Len Cariou won the Tony Award for Best Actor in a Musical for the original production of Sweeney Todd in 1979. Cariou was also nominated for Best Actor in a Musical in 1973 for A LITTLE NIGHT MUSIC, and in 1970 for APPLAUSE opposite Lauren Bacall.

Melissa Errico has appeared on Broadway in DRACULA, WHITE CHRISTMAS, AMOUR and HIGH SOCIETY. Jason Danieley has perfomed on Broadway in THE FULL MONEY, CANDIDE, and CURTAINS.

Full casting will be announced shortly.

BRIGADOON tells the story of a mysterious Scottish village that appears for only one day every hundred years, though to the villagers, the passing of each century seems no longer than one night. The enchantment is viewed by them as a blessing rather than a curse, for it saved the village from destruction. According to their covenant with God, no one from Brigadoon may ever leave, or the enchantment will be broken and the site and all its inhabitants will disappear into the mist forever. Two American tourists, lost in the Scottish Highlands, stumble upon the village just as a wedding is about to be celebrated, and their arrival has serious implications for the village's inhabitants.

The original production opened on Broadway in 1947 and ran for 581 performances. BRIGADOON then received a West End production opening in 1949 that ran for 685 performances, and many revivals followed. A 1954 film version starred Gene Kelly and Cyd Charisse. A 1966 television version starred Robert Goulet and Peter Falk.

The Concert will be perfomed on June 14 at 7pm at The Shubert Theatre, locted at 225 west 44th St Between Broadway and 8th Ave. Single tickets are $100 to $250. For tickets call (212) 727-2737.
