Being revived in London for the first time in over 35 years, Brigadoon will be adapted by acclaimed Scottish playwright Rona Munro and directed and choreographed by Drew McOnie.
Jasmine Jules Andrews, Danielle Fiamanya, Louis Grant and Cavan Clarke. Headshots provided by production.
Lerner & Loewe's musical classic, Brigadoon, follows two WW2 fighters, Tommy and Jeff, who crash in the Highlands of Scotland and embark on a journey to find their way home. Beyond the hills, sisters Fiona and Jean are preparing for a wedding. Over the course of one day, they meet in the dreamlike village of Brigadoon, and their stories entwine. The production features soaring songs like ‘Almost Like Being in Love’, ‘Waitin’ for My Dearie’ and ‘The Heather on the Hill’.
