Rehearsals are finally under way for TCOS's production of Brigadoon to be staged at the Marine Hall, Fleetwood, Lancs from Tuesday 24th - Sat 28th October 2006 @7.30pm.

SONGS

Brigadoon; Waitin' For My Dearie; I'll Go Home With Bonnie Jean; The Heather On The Hill; Almost Like Being In Love; The Gathering Of The Clans; The Wedding Dance; The Chase; Down On MacConnachy Square by Alan Jay Lerner and Frederick Loewe. 

    Based on a 1947 Broadway Hit, Brigadoon is the tale of a small Scottish village that time forgot.

    While on holiday in Scotland, two Americans, Tommy Albright and Jeff Douglas, stumble upon the small village of Brigadoon when hunting. Brigadoon is a quaint village that rarely has visitors and whose inhabitants behave and dress a little oddly. Despite this, Tommy quickly takes a liking to one of the female residents, Fiona MacKeith, and proceeds to follow her around like a love-sick puppy. 

    Tommy and Jeff soon discover that all is not as it seems. They overhear the townspeople talking about the "miracle". With a little more investigation, their suspicions grow. Finally, Fiona agrees to take Tommy and Jeff to visit a town elder, Mr Murdoch. Mr Murdoch explains that the miracle occurs every night. When the village goes to sleep it vanishes and sleeps for 100 years. The villagers are thereby unaffected by the wicked goings on of the world around them and are able to retain their innocence. However, if one of the residents of Brigadoon leaves the immediate village area, the miracle will end and Brigadoon will disappear forever.

    This poses an awkward situation for Tommy. He has fallen in love with Fiona but can't take her with him back to America, and he does not want to stay in a backward medieval village.What will he do?
