BRVS Alumni Brings "Bright Star" to Shelburne VT
Monday, August 22, 2022 by Bill Reed | Events
Enjoy a Broadway-style concert of the musical “Bright Star” in the historic Shelburne Town Hall on Saturday August 27th at 7pm or Sunday August 28th at 3pm.
Inspired by a true story and featuring the Tony®-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 that holds you tightly in its grasp, BRIGHT STAR is as refreshingly genuine as it is daringly hopeful.
New Charlotte residents, Brad and Melissa Coolidge, are joined by professionals from VT, NYC, and the Berkshires to share this bluegrass musical written by Steve Martin and Edie Brickell with toe-tapping live accompaniment on fiddle, banjo, and piano. Based on true events, this unbelievable story will leave you filled with hope and a belief that “The Sun is (Always) Gonna Shine Again.”
“I am forever grateful for Bill Reed’s coaching, lessons, and help meeting local talent. “
