Any word on the Brigadoon revival that was going to happen 2 or 3 years ago? I know Rob Ashford was supposed to direct and choreograph and it was going to have a new script and opening out of town in Boston but he couldn't get the right theatre. Is this revival still in talks? it's a great show.

actually seems like a good show for Encores!

It seems to have gone completely off the radar. I hope Brigadoon gets revived at some point - I'd love to see Lincoln Center do it in the Beaumont.

Ashford's kind of busy right now...

We can only hope that saner heads prevailed.

There is nothing wrong with the original book for BRIGADOON: It's a romantic fantasy as timeless as WIZARD OF OZ and needs no further updating.

The production techniques of 1947 need updating but not the script or score.

Yes please! I've been going through a big Brigadoon phase ever since I saw the Irish Rep's Concert Gala of Brigadoon in June. I would love for it to be revived!

Sorry, but Mr. Lundie informs me Brigadoon won't be back until October 16, 2080.

Looks like I'll have to find my own modified Brigadoon to sleep through the next 70 years then!

Let's see what Ashford does to HOW TO..... before we bring this up again, and I agree the book and score are magical and don't need tinkering.
