Additional casting has been announced for the Irish Repertory Theatre’s previously reported benefit concert performance of the classic Alan J. Lerner and Frederick Loewe musical Brigadoon at Broadway’s Shubert Theatre, to be held on Monday, June 14, at 7pm. Charlotte Moore will direct.

Christine Ebersole (Meg), Don Stephenson (Jeff), and Ciaran Sheehan (Harry) will join Melissa Errico (Fiona), Jason Danieley (Tommy), and Len Cariou (Mr. Lundie).

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.
