Being revived in London for the first time in over 35 years, Drew McOnie directs and choreographs a new production in the Regent's Park Open Air Theatre. The classic musical by Lerner & Loewe 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.
Brigadoon will play from 2 August to 20 September.
