Things that make me happy.

iTunes finally has a version of Brigadoon other than the movie one. It's the studio recording, with singers I've never heard of, but it has a lot more of the music.

Belmont Dramatic Club may actually be doing Brigadoon next spring (they were going to do it this past spring, but it didn't happen). That would be cool.

I've heard good things about them. Never seen any of their productions, but I mean to get to one one of these days.

They're the group I did A Murder Is Announced with last fall.

Does it have more of the music than the original Broadway recording? If so, I may need to track it down myself.

Oooh! I did Brigadoon when I was in high school. Lots of fun. :) May need to check out iTunes. I have the movie version which is...ok... But not great. Like the King and I. I have a version with Julie Andrews and Ben Kingsley which is awesome.

Apparently, I'm in random tangent mode. Sorry.

My high school did Brigadoon when I was in 9th grade. Fell in love with it then, have continued to love its sappiness ever since. :)

I played a created character, which was a mish mash of Sandy (the candy seller from Maconachie Square (or however you spell it)) and Kate who throws Charlie out for trying to see Jean. And I got to eat salt water taffy every night (after the show). :)

"Come to me, bend to me
Kiss me good day
Darlin', my darlin'
'tis all I can say."

Charlie was played by a guy from Tennessee with a ferocious southern accent. Very strange.

"...so laddies I hope you'll buy me out,
It's makin' me kind of sick!"

I love the McConachy Square number.

The local community college did Brigadoon when I was a kid and I think it was the first musical I ever saw. I'm pretty sure I turned gay right at the big reveal. ;{)}

Brigadoon is the worst musical ever written.

I'm not arguing that it's great theater. But what makes you say that?
