Rachel Rockwell directed a terrific and thrilling Brigadoon a few years ago at the Goodman in Chicago.

They can't seem to keep these two apart! Lol...but this is an interesting choice for the City Center gala, after Annie Get Your Gun and Sunday in the Park. I wonder if it will be a more "traditional" interpretation of the material or something contemporary-ish, like Annie and Sunday.

I'm not too familiar with Brigadoon as a show, but this event always rounds up a great cast.

Marin Mazzie and Jason Danieley did BRIGADOON in Los Angeles about 10-12 years ago. Nobody cared that it was a concert staging.

(I know Pasquale and O'Hara aren't married, but they do have an obvious chemistry that really makes BRIGADOON work!)

I have never been so jealous of those who live in the greater NYC area than I am this year!

I adore this score and to have a Bridges reunion on top of that??? This is fantastic news. 

Marie: Don't be in such a hurry about that pretty little chippy in Frisco. Tony: Eh, she's a no chip!

I am thrilled by this announcement and cannot wait to hear Kelli and Steven together again!

i have never seen this show so I am also really curious about the choreography.  This is so up my alley.  I will be there front and center!

Now if they could only get Tristan McManus to play (and dance) Harry Beaton.

Pre-sale tickets are on sale.

I just booked mine, and I can't remember the last time I was more excited about a performance!

"Thanks for posting!  Once again, I didn't get an email with the promo code.  Called up and got 4 tickets for the Sunday performance.  Cannot wait for this!

Loved the Reprise concert!

Surprised they are trusting Pasquale with this. Judging from his twitter account he doesn't seem like a well man.

Why?  Because he is furious Donald Trump is POTUS?  Yeah, most people in NYC are pretty upset about that. Especially his friends and fiance, who are also artists.  "If you are not outraged, you are not paying attention".

 
He will be wonderful in the role, as he is with every single theater role he has ever done.  He is meant to be on stage.  

 
There are hardly any good seats left at all.  I'm so glad I'm a member because there will be very slim pickings come Thursday when they go on sale to the public.

I think theaterguy already had a ridiculous thread deleted wherein he questioned whether Mr. Pasauale had a "breakdown". Let it go. And, yes,  this is something I can't wait to see. Always loved Brigadoon!

Just in time for Lerner's centenary.  He was born August 31, 1918.  LCT is doing his My Fair Lady.  And, with the critical edition now completed, his show with Kurt Weill, Love Life, the first "concept musical," may finally show up at City Center's Encores.

What do you mean, Margo319? Affordable seats? Seats with a good view? I don't want to spiral into a panic when it's running for a couple of days and City Center is a pretty big venue. Even the original run of Sunday in the Park didn't sell out and I've been able to purchase tickets to everything I've wanted to see there once the public sale started without a problem.
