Starting this weekend in Huntington is a show beloved by - well, everyone who's ever seen it.
ARTS presents the musical Brigadoon, a magical love story loaded with great songs.
My pal Dave Lavender has a great story in the Herald-Dispatch (which you can read here - and and there's a photo gallery here) - here's an excerpt:
------------------
Gene Anthony knows what a little night music and laughter can do.
And he thinks we could all use a little right now.
So this weekend you'll find him and his wife, Coni, and the company of ARTS pleasantly whisking audiences back in a sentimental way to the 1940s for the fairytale love story musical Brigadoon, written by the team of Alan Jay Lerner and Frederick Loewe, who gave the world such classics as My Fair Lady and Camelot.
The sixth ARTS production of the season, Brigadoon hits the stage at 8 p.m. Friday and Saturday, Oct. 9-10, and 2 p.m. Sunday, Oct. 11. The production also runs Friday-Saturday, Oct. 16-17.
Call 304-733-2787 to make dinner and show reservations. Dinner and show tickets are $30, and show only is $15. Dinner tickets are sold out for opening night but available for other nights.
While the Arts Resources for the Tri-State's season has skated back and forth between edgy contemporary fare, larger musicals and even a Greek tragedy, Anthony said with everything going on in the world, Brigadoon could not come along at a better time.
"A wonderful way to escape has always been the theater," Anthony said. "When we (Marshall Theater) did The Foreigner, we did it three or four weeks after 9/11, and the show is an absolutely hilarious farce, and the audience was packed, and literally the laughter was like a shockwave. It was so apparent and so present that you could feel the energy pushing backstage because everybody was ready to laugh, and that escape that it provided was glorious, and that, I think, had something to do behind our decision, that we need something to smile about and to feel good about."
