This afternoon we are seeing a production of BRIGADOON put on by the NYU Graduate School for the Arts. Their productions are always delicious and you can always pick out a couple kids that you KNOW you will see on Broadway or at the Met in a few years. THeir orchestra is really wonderful. Last year they did a STUDENT PRINCE that could only be described as sublime. (I have never seen Brigadoon before but I familiar with many of the songs.) <Paella wiith a friend at Cafe Español afterwards.> Posted Image Edited by Trotsky, Sep 25 2017, 05:26 AM.

Yes, I can imagine they do a tremendous job, crackling with energy. Good exercise for them, Scottish accents! |

Voices were good, songs were great, but the Scots accents were very heavy and hard to decifer. A nice afternoon overall, except for sitting in the draft of a powerful air conditioner (thank God my theater travel bag includes a flannel shirt.) Brigadoon = Bridge over the Doon...Thank you Alan, I never thought of that. |

Trouble was, there was too much of THAT kind of language in the musical. |
