Scottish fantasy wraps up CountryP!ayho use season Brigadoon is a highland muscial that combines the best ele- ments of Scottish culture GRAND BEND - The tartan was flying both on stage and off during last week's opening of the Hu- ron County Playhouse's final show, Brigadoon, that will run until August 30. , ' The Scottish fantasy, written by Alan' Jay Lerner and Frederick Loewe, is the story of a eighteenth century village that disappeared into the Highland mist and returns for only ole day every hundred year. To the villagers, only; a day has passed but it is the twentieth century when two young American men stumble across the unmapped village. The village has been protected from the evils of the world by a miracle that can only be maintained if no one tries to leave. However, someone frdm the outside can remain in Brigadoon if they truly love one of the residents. The Playhouse production of Brigadoon features original dances created by Anges DeMille.and mu- sic by Loewe. Although the voices are strong, the dancing is somewhat disappointing in constrast. Bagpiper Ian Sutherland lends an air of authentic- ity to the muscial in which Scottish brogues are sometimes less than convincing. In all, however, the production is successful in transporting the audi- ence to a simple time when love and goodness are victorious over evil. Kristen Gauthier, as Fiona and Christopher Martin as Tommy Albright make their Playhouse debut in Brigadoon. Performing a dual role as director and Mr. Lundie, is Brian McKay. . For a musical adventure the entire family will en- joy contact the Playhouse box office at 1-800-706- 6665. Kristen Gauthier, as Fiona, and Chris- topher Martin, as Tommy Albright, make their playhouse debut in Brigadoon. Follow your heart to Brigadoon GRAND BEND Huron Country Playhouse opened its final show of the 26th season, Lerner and Loewe's Brigadoon: Book and Lyr- ics by Alan Jan Lerner; Music by Frederick Loewe; the Original Dances created by Agnes DeMille. Brigadoon runs from August 12 to August 30. This production of Brigadoon is directed by Brian McKay. Huron Country Playhouse is pleased to welcome back Union Gas as the production sponsor and once again, CJBK/BX93 returns in the role of Season Media Sponsor: This Scottish fantasy, written by the team of Alan Jay Lerner and Frederick Loewe, is the 'story of a town that disappeared into the Highland mist and returns for only one day every one hundred years. Brigadoon is a glittering, unique place among the heather -strewn hills of Scotland where the worries, evils and aggravation of twentieth- century living are left far behind. It is a monument to simplicity, true love and goodness, which is hidden from the ordinary traveler. When two young American men happen upon this fabled town, they cannot possibly know what is in store for them. One moment they are bemoaning their fates and their unhappy hive lives, the next day they are entering an eighteenth cen- tury marketplace, complete with vendors selling their wares. Brigadoon premiered on Braod- way a the Ziegfeld Theatre on March 13, 1947. David Brooks, George Keane, Marion Bell, Lee Sullivan, Pamela Britton, William Hansen and James Mitchell were cast in this production's leading roles for its world premiere. The film version of Brigadoon saw Gene Kelly sing and•dance his way -into hearts around the world in the title role as Tommy Albright. Since 1947, Brigadoon has been seen around the world. Once again, an ensemble cast, of new and old faces, has been assem- bled to bring to life this enchanting musical at the Huron Country Play- house.
