Broadway's 2016 hit tells a tale of love and redemption set against the backdrop of Asheville, North Carolina in the 1920s and 1940s.
It is an uplifting, humorous and emotional theatrical journey that is as refreshingly genuine as it is daringly hopeful.
The Broadway production of "Bright Star" was nominated for Five Tony Awards, including Best Musical, Best Score and Best Book.
