✨ South Bay Musical Theatre Brings Timeless Romance to Life with Brigadoon
May 17–June 7, 2025 | Saratoga Civic Theater
Saratoga, CA – South Bay Musical Theatre is proud to present Brigadoon, the beloved romantic fantasy from the legendary team of Alan Jay Lerner and Frederick Loewe, running May 17 through June 7, 2025 at the Saratoga Civic Theater.
From the creators of My Fair Lady comes a musical that has enchanted generations with its sweeping melodies and mystical tale of love that defies time. Originally choreographed by dance legend Agnes DeMille, Brigadoon features some of musical theatre’s most enduring standards, including “Almost Like Being in Love,” “Come to Me, Bend to Me,” and “Heather on the Hill.”
Directed for SBMT by Doug Brook, with choreography by Esther Selk, music direction by Joseph Kelly, and vocal direction by Rachel Michelberg, this new production promises to highlight the magical and emotional richness of the original, with fresh energy and heartfelt storytelling.
Set in the misty Scottish Highlands, Brigadoon tells the story of Tommy Albright, a disillusioned New Yorker who stumbles upon a mysterious village that only appears for one day every hundred years. There, he meets Fiona MacLaren, a woman whose deep love for her land—and for Tommy—forces him to confront what truly matters in life. As the village teeters on the edge of disappearance, Tommy must make an impossible decision: return to his modern world, or embrace a timeless love that may only last the day.
“Brigadoon is the kind of show that reminds you why we fall in love with musical theatre in the first place,” says SBMT Artistic Director Walter M. Mayes. “It’s romantic, haunting, hopeful—and surprisingly relevant. At its heart, it’s about choosing connection, love, and belief in something magical over the easy path of cynicism. We can’t wait to share this beautiful and rarely performed gem with our audiences.”
