Original soundtrack from the Broadway Cast. From Grammy winners Steve Martin and Edie Brickell comes Broadway s new 'shining achievement' Bright Star, a musical about the stories we tell... and the ones we don t. Directed by Tony winner Walter Bobbie and inspired by a real event, this 'unabashedly romantic' (The New York Times) original musical 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. Propelled by an ensemble of onstage musicians and dancers, the story unfolds as a rich tapestry of deep emotion, beautiful melodies and powerfully moving performances. An uplifting theatrical journey that holds you tight in it's grasp, Bright Star is something rare a Broadway musical that's as refreshingly genuine as it is daringly hopeful.
