Irish Rep to Present Concert Performance of Brigadoon as Gala Benefit

The Irish Repertory Theatre’s annual benefit gala will include a concert performance of the classic Lerner and Loewe musical Brigadoon at Broadway’s Shubert Theatre, to be held on Monday, June 14, at 7pm. Casting will be announced at a later date.

The musical tells the story of a mysterious Scottish village that appears through the mist for one day every hundred years. It follows two cynical and jaded New Yorkers who stumble across the “Bridge O’Doon,” entering the village on the very day of its once-a-century appearance.

The score includes songs such as “Almost Like Being in Love,” “Waitin’ For My Dearie,” “Come To Me, Bend To Me,” and the title tune.

Single tickets are $100-$250, and can be ordered by calling 212-727-2737 or visiting the company’s website at www.irishrep.org.
