From the composers of 'Camelot' and 'My Fair Lady', Lerner and Loewes Brigadoon is the enchanting and beloved Broadway and West End musical that inspired the classic MGM film, and numerous productions all over the world and is one of the longest running musicals in Broadway history! Featuring such standards as 'Almost Like Being in Love,' 'Come to Me, Bend To Me,' and 'Heather on the Hill,' Brigadoon is a timeless, romantic classic which vividly brings the mystery and magic of the Scottish highlands to life.

There is a legend that once every hundred years in the Scottish highlands the village of Brigadoon awakens and its awakening enthralls with its mystery, delightful characters, and a love story that transcends time. Directed by Bob Kelly, Candlelight's Brigadoon features Andy Boettcher and Jared Calhoun as adventurers Tommy Albright and Jeff Douglas who find themselves lost in the highlands when Brigadoon comes to life. Sophie Jones plays Fiona MacLaren who is at once smitten with Tommy, Analisa Wall is the feisty Meg Brockie who sets her eye on Jeff Douglas.

Based on the 2003 Will Ferrell film, "Elf" the musical is as "Sparklejollytwinklejingley" as its title character. Santa reads a children's book. Elves tap dance.
