In the Recording Studio: "Bright Star" from BRIGHT STAR

A.J. Shively and cast record the title song from Steve Martin and Edie Brickell's BRIGHT STAR. Get the album, now available from Ghostlight Records, at BrightStarAlbum....
Directed by Tony® winner Walter Bobbie and inspired by a real event, this “unabashedly romantic” (The New York Times) original musical tells a sweeping tale of love and redemption set against the rich backdrop of the American South in the 1920s and ‘40s. When literary editor Alice Murphy (Carmen Cusack) meets a young soldier just home from World War II, he awakens her longing for the child she once lost. Haunted by their unique connection, Alice sets out on a journey to understand her past - and what she finds has the power to transform both of their lives.
Propelled by an ensemble of onstage musicians and dancers, the story unfolds as a rich tapestry of deep emotion, beautiful melodies and powerfully moving performances. An uplifting theatrical journey that holds you tight in its grasp, BRIGHT STAR is something rare - a Broadway musical that's as refreshingly genuine as it is daringly hopeful.
#BrightStar is now in performances at the Cort Theatre on Broadway. For tickets, visit btsr.co/1RNGUdg.

@@TylerFortier1 oh congratulations! See that was two years ago and my show was canceled due to COVID which I'm still upset about but I've been involved in lots more productions since then which makes me happy. Just recently I was Patrick in my school's production of Spongebob the Musical. Oncr again congrats with the casting and I wish you the best with your performances!

[@alexhardison]

I’m ready for my life to begin. I’m ready for it all to start. My heart’s about to bust, don’t lead the way I must, follow my own bright star. Many a long cold night. I huddled down in the dark. I made a vow, if I ever made it out, I’d follow my own bright star. **Bright star, keep shining for me, shine on and see me through. Bright star, keep shining for me, and one day I’ll shine for you.** You never know what life will bring. Only what you bring to life. Hopes and dreams, and fine imaginings, they happen in their own good time. I’ve seen a weak man fight. I’ve seen a strong man cry. I have learned, the brightest day in turn, into the darkest night. **REPEAT LYRICS** There’s always a song to sing. A melody in the dark. Lifts my spirits, every time I hear it. Comforts my aching heart. (Bright star, bright day) Keep shining for me! (Bright lights, Bright day) And see me through! (Bright star, bright day) Keep shining for me, I’m on my way! **REPEAT LYRICS TWICE- KEY CHANGE 2ND TIME AND FINISH**
