Synopsis

Inspired by a true story and featuring the Tony® nominated score by Steve Martin and Edie Brickell, Broadway’s BRIGHTSTAR 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 Il, 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.
