Light Opera Works Presents BRIGADOON
By: Gabrielle Sierra
In BRIGADOON, as a heavenly mist caresses the highlands of Scotland, two young Americans embark on an adventure they'll never forget. The village of Brigadoon comes to life just one day every 100 years, but that's all it takes for Tommy to fall in love with the fair lassie Fiona.
The score, by the creators of MY FAIR LADY, includes the Broadway classics "Almost Like Being in Love," "The Heather on the Hill" and "Waitin' for My Dearie."
