Waitin’ For My Dearie: Brigadoon and The Miracle of Love

Lerner and Loewe’s masterwork boasts hit songs (“Almost Like Being in Love,” “The Heather on the Hill”), but more important, this 1947 musical pierces the heart: It’s the story of Tommy Albright, an American who has been emotionally scarred by World War II, but who reclaims his soul in the Scottish Highlands with a lass named Fiona.  Bill Rudman and Nancy Maier will tell that story, along with the saga of the musical’s creation, aided by a company of soloists, a chorus and an instrumental ensemble playing new orchestral arrangements.
