A popular movie musical from the 50s, Brigadoon tells the story of New Yorkers, Tommy Albright and Jeff Douglas get lost on their vacation to the Scottish Highlands.

Elise McCann is the hilarious Meg, who looks for love in all the wrong places. Joining the headline cast are Luke Joslin as Jeff, Tommy’s fun but cynical best friend who doesn’t believe in love; Stefanie Jones is Jean, Fiona’s sister who is about to marry Charlie, played by Matthew Manahan.
