Inspired by a real event and featuring the Grammy-nominated score by Steve Martin and Edie Brickell, Broadways Bright Star tells a sweeping tale of love and redemption set against the rich backdrop of the Blue Ridge Mountains in the 1920s and 40s. When Alice Murphy, the brilliant editor of a southern literary journal, meets Billy Cane, a soldier just home from World War II, they discover a powerful secret that alters their lives. An uplifting theatrical journey that holds you tight in its grasp, Bright Star is as refreshingly genuine as it is daringly hopeful.


Ages: “Bright Star” contains some mature themes that may be more appropriate and relevant to pre-teens and older.
