New York City Center Gala
Mainstage
Nov 15 – 19, 2017
Before My Fair Lady and Camelot there was Brigadoon.
City Center is delighted to bring this classic musical out of the Highlands mist for its 70th anniversary in a star-studded concert production that unites celebrated talents from the worlds of stage and screen.
Patrick Wilson (two-time Tony Award nominee, Oklahoma! and The Full Monty) is Tommy Albright and Aasif Mandvi (The Daily Show) is his friend Jeff Douglas—both are jaded New Yorkers who stumble into an idyllic Scottish town that appears for only one day every century. Tony Award winner Kelli O’Hara (The King and I) is Fiona, the woman who quickly steals Tommy’s heart. Stephanie J. Block (two-time Tony Award nominee, The Mystery of Edwin Drood and Falsettos) is Meg Brockie, Fiona’s flirty dairymaid best friend who takes a liking to Jeff.
Robert Fairchild (Tony Award nominee for An American in Paris) plays the rebellious Harry Beaton who is in love with Fiona’s younger sister, Jean (Sara Esty, An American in Paris). However, Jean is getting married to Charlie Dalrymple (Ross Lekites, Kinky Boots), which sends Harry into a rage—causing him to jeopardize the very existence of the mystical village of Brigadoon.
Brigadoon will be directed and choreographed by Tony Award winner Christopher Wheeldon (An American in Paris).
Funds raised at all seven performances of Brigadoon will allow City Center to continue making the performing arts accessible to the widest possible audience by subsidizing tickets throughout the year.
