Bright Star Audition notice

 

Audition Notice: "BRIGHT STAR" Music, Book and Story by Steve Martin. Music, Lyrics, and Story by Edie Brickell​

​

The Ziegfeld Theater announces open auditions for “Bright Star” directed by Caleb Parry (Ziegfeld director of: Newsies ASL, Tommy, Little Shop of Horrors, Young Frankenstein, Fiddler on the Roof and Shrek).

 

"Inspired by a true story and featuring the Tony®-nominated score by Steve Martin and Edie Brickell, Broadway’s BRIGHT STAR 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 II, 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."
