Bright Star by Steve Martin & Edie Brickell
Inspired by a real event and featuring the Tony and Grammy-nominated score by Steve Martin and Edie Brickell, Bright Star is 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.
With its San Diego premiere at The Old Globe Theatre in 2014, Bright Star is written and composed by Steve Martin and Edie Brickell. The musical is inspired by their Grammy-winning collaboration on the 2013 bluegrass album Love Has Come for You and in turn, the true folk story of the Iron Mountain Baby. The show opens on Friday, April 18th at 7:30.
There is one Saturday matinee: April 26th at 2:00 pm (There will be no evening performance on that date)
