Inspired By A Real Event

“A gorgeous anthem to optimism!” -- Variety 

2016 Outer Critics Circle Award-Winning & 2016 Tony Award®-Nominated Best Musical 

From Grammy®, Emmy® and Academy Award®-winning Steve Martin and Grammy Award-winning Edie Brickell comes Bright Star, the five-time Tony®-nominated, new Broadway musical that The New York Times called a shining achievement. Directed by Tony winner Walter Bobbie and inspired by a real event, this original musical tells a sweeping tale of love and redemption set against the rich backdrop of the American South in the 1920s and '40s. Propelled by an ensemble of onstage musicians and dancers, the story unfolds as a rich tapestry of deep emotion, beautiful melodies and powerfully moving performances. Bright Star—as refreshingly genuine as it is daringly hopeful—is Broadway's most beautiful show (WABC). 

Carmen Cusack will reprise her Tony-nominated role as Alice Murphy in "Bright Star" at the Ahmanson Theatre in Los Angeles. Carmen Cusack to Reprise Tony-Nominated 'Bright Star' Performance in Los Angeles by Andy Lefkowitz Read More
