"Brigadoon" is the story of a mysterious Scottish village that appears for only one day every hundred years, though to the villagers, the passing of each century seems no longer than one night. The enchantment is viewed by them as a blessing rather than a curse, for it saved the village from destruction. According to their covenant with God, no one from Brigadoon may ever leave, or the enchantment will be broken and the site and all its inhabitants will disappear into the mist forever. Two American tourists, lost in the Scottish Highlands, stumble upon the village just as a wedding is about to be celebrated, and their arrival has serious implications for the village's inhabitants.
The original production opened on Broadway in 1947 and ran for 581 performances. "Brigadoon" was the first hit written by the famous musical team of Lerner and Lowe. They went on to write "My Fair Lady" and "Camelot" - some of the most highly acclaimed musicals in Broadway history. Songs from "Brigadoon", such as "Almost Like Being in Love" have become standards. A 1954 film version starred Gene Kelly and Cyd Charisse, and a 1966 television version featured Robert Goulet and Peter Falk.
