Bright Star

CANADIAN PROFESSIONAL PREMIERE
A co-production with Garner Theatre Productions, Toronto

Inspired by a true story and featuring the Tony® Award-nominated score by Steve Martin and Edie Brickell, Broadway’s Bright Star tells a sweeping tale of love and redemption set against the rich backdrop of the American South in the 1920s and ’40s. When literary editor Alice Murphy meets a young soldier just home from World War II, he awakens her longing for the child she once lost. Haunted by their unique connection, Alice sets out on a journey to understand her past—and what she finds has the power to transform both of their lives. With beautiful melodies and powerfully moving characters, the story unfolds as a rich tapestry of deep emotion.

An uplifting theatrical journey, refreshingly genuine and daringly hopeful, Bright Star is performed by an all-Canadian cast of multi-talented Actor-Musicians in a stunning new production that will hold you tightly in its grasp.
