I had the pleasure of attending a live performance of Brigadoon, the old Broadway musical last evening. It was the last event to our season-tickets to the Power Center series at the University of Michigan’s Dept. of Music, Art and Theatre’s offerings for this academic year.
Since photography is prohibited inside, attached are a few pictures taken of the playbill, the stage before the play started, and a regrettably-blurred picture of the bagpiper playing his pipes outside the Power Center. He was part of the acting troupe but the playing of the pipes was a nice touch to the anticipations of the story set in Scotland.
There’s a wiki entry about the play, I just discovered. You can find it right here. But if you’re busy to read through it, the story is essentially a sweet one of finding the one you love, losing them, and then willing yourself to find them again. A little fantastical, I know, but one doesn’t always need a story rooted in reality to truly identify with it.
