No flashy special effects or sophisticated themes--just innocuous plot jazzed up with some lively singing and dancing.

That formula works nicely at the Harlequin Dinner Playhouse in Santa Ana, where director Lynn Phillip Seibel has staged an old-fashioned and thoroughly likable revival of the 1951 Broadway hit about miners struggling through the California Gold Rush. Advertisement ENTERTAINMENT STAGE REVIEWS : 'My Fair Lady' Is Still a Charmer : Crisp Production by the Yorba Linda Civic Light Opera Has Some Winning Performances June 11, 1992 | M.E. WARREN, SPECIAL TO THE TIMES "My Fair Lady" is such a well-crafted American musical that one almost forgets that the play that inspired it, "Pygmalion," was written by the most vociferous social critic of his time and place, George Bernard Shaw. When he took to task the arrogant, upper-class scholar Prof. Henry Higgins and pitted him against the natural intelligence and streetwise humanity of the lowly flower-girl Eliza Dolittle, he was transcribing a class war and not a deathless love affair.

ENTERTAINMENT STAGE REVIEW : An Enjoyable Production of 'Brigadoon' Despite Shortcomings : Theater: Vintage Lerner & Lowe musical comedy is short on plot but tall on song-and-dance numbers. June 21, 1991 | JOHN GODFREY, SPECIAL TO THE TIMES The 1947 Alan Jay Lerner-Frederick Loewe musical "Brigadoon" revolves around a pretty outlandish premise: When the night mist envelops the fictional Scottish town of Brigadoon, its inhabitants float into the sky and sleep for 100 years.

When the Brigadoonites wake up, they are just one day older; the rest of the world has aged a century. ENTERTAINMENT 'Brigadoon' Lives Up to Legend : Theater review: With a spirited cast of lads and lasses, Fullerton Civic Light Opera takes a lovely high road to the heart of Lerner and Loewe's magical Scottish land of enchantment. May 18, 1995 | JAN HERMAN, TIMES STAFF WRITER In its previous outing, Fullerton Civic Light Opera offered a first-class production of the Arthur Kopit-Maury Yeston "Phantom." Now it has topped that with "Brigadoon," Alan Jay Lerner and Frederick Loewe's enchanted--and enchanting--Broadway operetta. The production has been mounted at Plummer Auditorium with more charm than any FCLO revival I've seen over the past seven years. It combines the innocent aura of a childlike dream with the fluid magic of a flying carpet.

August 1, 1992 | JOHN GODFREY, SPECIAL TO THE TIMES The Alan Jay Lerner-Frederick Loewe musical "Paint Your Wagon" centers on the character of Ben Rumson, a gold prospector-entrepreneur who attempts to keep the California town he founded alive during the unstable Gold Rush years. A variety of subplots populate this 1951 musical, but each episode ties directly into Ben's patriarchal mission to maintain the peace and prosperity in Rumson, Calif., circa 1849. The story also includes a supporting character, a Mexican miner named Julio.

California Music Theatre's revival does nothing to lift us off the pavement. In fact, the casting of Noel Harrison as Henry Higgins--the role his father Rex Harrison made famous--virtually ensured that this production would exhume, not revivify, the past.

ENTERTAINMENT 'Lady' Is Fairer Than Ever March 20, 1992 | BARBARA SALTZMAN, TIMES STAFF WRITER For years, trying to watch the Alan Jay Lerner-Frederick Loewe Broadway musical blockbuster "My Fair Lady" on home video was a frustrating experience. The pan-and-scan videotape destroyed director George Cukor's carefully framed pictures and Cecil Beaton's letter-perfect costumes and production. Only the well-known score seemed intact, if not a sonic experience.

Brigadoon, musical | Details | AllMusic Brigadoon, musical google+ Description by Anne Feeney Brigadoon not only established Lerner and Loewe as the newest stars in the musical theater scene, it also helped usher in the post-Gershwin and Porter era of more romantic, overtly emotional musicals. Like Finian's Rainbow, it is set in a fantasy version of a Celtic country, and is full of vivid, if inauthentic, local color and love songs, both exuberant, such as "I'll go home with Bonnie Jean" and "Almost like being in love," and sentimental, such as "Turn to me, bend to me" and "There but for you go I." Both setting and story are highly escapist, and the unabashedly lush music and animated dance scenes, including Agnes de Mille's choreography of the dramatic Sword Dance, could let the post-war audiences imagine that they, too, were in a different, simpler world where love and faith overcome all obstacles.

Not surprisingly for a pioneering work, it was turned down again and again by Broadway producers, on the grounds that it would never be a commercial success, though one offered to stage it if Lerner and Loewe would change the setting to the United States! Finally, Cheryl Crawford decided to take the risk and in 1947, produced it at the Ziegfield Theater, a decision that was richly rewarded. It opened to rave reviews, won the Critics Choice Award, and ran for 581 performances, one of the most impressive theater runs up to that time. A few weeks after its opening, one critic, George Jean Nathan, charged that the story was plagiarized from Germelhausen, a short story by Friedrich Gerstacker, but Lerner defended himself, saying that the theme was a common one in folklore and fairy tales, and his variation was original. (Lerner also said that the critic was motivated by jealousy over Lerner's affair with the Fiona, Marion Bell, whom he later briefly married.) In 1954, there was an MGM film, starring Gene Kelly , Cyd Charisse, and Van Johnson.

(And for trivia lovers, there is a real Brigadoon, but it happens to be a bridge, the "Bridge of Doon," rather than a village. According to local folklore, it was the magic bridge over which Tam O'Shanter fled the wrath of the fairies.) Appears On Brigadoon (1954) Synopsis - Plot Summary - Fandango GO Synopsis Reportedly, Vincente Minnelli turned down the opportunity to film Brigadoon on location in Scotland insisting that MGM's studio mockups looked more Scottish than the genuine article. This lavish adaptation of the Lerner and Loewe Broadway musical stars Gene Kelly as an American tourist who stumbles upon an enchanted Scottish village. Every 100 years, the people of Brigadoon awaken for a 24-hour period, then go back to sleep for another century while Brigadoon itself vanishes in the mists. Tommy Albright ( Kelly ) falls in love with village lass Fiona Campbell ( Cyd Charisse ) while his hard-drinking pal, Jeff Douglas ( Van Johnson ), dismisses the legend -- and indeed the existence of Brigadoon as a result of delirium.

Fiona's betrothed Harry Beaton ( Hugh Laing ), upset by Kelly 's intervention, threatens to leave Brigadoon -- an act that will spell doom for its residents. When this crisis has passed, Tommy is persuaded against his better judgment to escape Brigadoon himself and return to his own fiancée ( Elaine Stewart ) in New York. But the love between Tommy and Fiona results in a miraculous finale. Most of the Lerner - Loewe score remains intact, including the hit songs "Almost Like Being in Love," "Heather on the Hill," and "Come to Me Bend to Me." ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi Provided by Rovi BROADWAY'S 'BRIGADOON' GOES TO THE OPERA - NYTimes.com BROADWAY'S 'BRIGADOON' GOES TO THE OPERA By BERNARD HOLLAND Published: February 23, 1986 Beverly Sills says right away that the New York City Opera's ''Brigadoon'' isn't looking for converts.

The five-week, eight-performance-a-week run of the 1947 Lerner and Loewe musical begins Friday night at the State Theater, and according to the City Opera's general director, the company is setting its sights - and summoning its musical assets - to bring in the faithful friends of the American musical. ''It would be pure phoniness to say we're doing 'Brigadoon' to get people to go to 'Mefistofele' or 'Traviata,' '' she says. 'Brigadoon'' introduces the City Opera's new late-winter venture - a mini-season of musical comedy which has been given money enough to take it through five years. The private donors are Mr. and Mrs. Lawrence Wien, and what Mr. Wien has in mind, says Miss Sills, is ''opera company productions of an unusual art form, the American musical. He doesn't want - and we don't either - an economy version of a theater piece.'' The shows, in other words, will be chosen and performed to fit what an opera house can and cannot do. ''It's obvious we aren't going to try 'A Chorus Line' or 'Dreamgirls,' '' she says.

''We don't have the dancers for them. Another thing I think about when I look for repertory is whether the music will do anything to the throats of our people that they aren't used to having done. We shall use our singers with our sets and costumes -like an opera taking place in Scotland. We're not competing with big Broadway productions.'' Desmond Heeley, an opera veteran, is designing the show. The choice of ''Brigadoon,'' by the way, was Miss Sills's alone. ''Mr. Wien might tell me that he loves this musical or that,'' she says, ''but he has made it quite clear that he will make no artistic decisions. 'Brigadoon' has the score. The book of a show may be divine, but I have to ask if I can cast it with my singers.'' The piece, Miss Sills adds, requires only one outside actor - Tony Roberts, who comes from Broadway and Hollywood, to assume the major speaking part - and one outside dancer. ''Brigadoon'' 's perennial popularity - it has had at least seven New York revivals -certainly has not been lost on her.

Indeed, its story of hardened New Yorkers who find love and happiness in a magical Scottish village may well appeal to today's increasingly escapist entertainment audience. Alan Jay Lerner, who wrote the book and lyrics for ''Brigadoon'' -the music is by Frederick Loewe -says he is ''eternally grateful'' to Miss Sills for creating a repertory of American musicals. ''We have revivals from time to time,'' he said in New York a few days ago, ''but nothing like what she is doing.'' Mr. Lerner thinks ''Brigadoon'' will work well in the opera house. ''It's a big singing show,'' he said. ''The City Opera has the voices; they care and they try.'' Mr. Lerner, in town on his way to his home in London, will not be involved with the production. ''I'm not going to stay around and pretend to be the great solon,'' he said. Songs like ''Almost Like Being in Love'' and ''There But for You Go I'' remain strongest in most listeners' minds, but Mr.

Lerner likes ''Come to Me, Bend to Me.'' ''It was a question of achieving what I wanted to do in that song,'' he said. The original production of ''Brigadoon'' - starring David Brooks, Marion Bell, Pamela Britton and George Keane - ran for 581 performances on Broadway. The 1954 film version featured Gene Kelly, Cyd Charisse, Van Johnson and Elaine Stewart. Next year's venture has already been decided, but the rights to perform it have not yet cleared, so Miss Sills is reluctant to specify. As to the third season, she is still looking - and as far back in the American musical's history as worthy pieces can be found. ''A lot will depend on how we do this year,'' she says. ''Brigadoon'' will offer alternating casts, with such City Opera singers as Sheryl Woods, Beverly Lambert, Joyce Castle, Marcia Mitzman, Richard White, John Leslie Wolfe, Cris Groenendaal, David Eisler and James Billings. Paul Gemignani, a highly successful Broadway musician, will conduct.

If the first few years succeed, Miss Sills sees the real possibility of taking the first years' productions and cycling them into a repertory season all its own. After a first week of sales for ''Brigadoon,'' marketing people at the City Opera predicted that by Friday, 30 percent of the entire run - in a 2,700-seat house - will already have been sold. ''Our first mailing went to our opera subscribers, and we were pleasantly surprised by the response,'' says Miss Sills. ''Brigadoon'' is being marketed along Broadway lines, complete with a commercial television spot starring Miss Sills herself. Prices will be relatively modest, however, keeping to the ticket ranges offered during the company's opera season. Orchestra seats run to $29, with the cheapest places in the house at $4. ''Prices are just the same as for 'Boheme,' '' she says.

(The City Opera does sell $37 seats in the first tier, but inquirers are reminded that these are mainly house and press seats, or else subscribed to by corporations.) The City Opera's new musical comedy season redresses a serious ecological imbalance created when the company decided three years ago to move its traditional second-half subscription season (which would have begun about now) to the summer months. 1 Lerner and Loewe's "Brigadoon" Lerner and Loewe's "Brigadoon" The Kindleberger Arts Commission has an exciting summer of community entertainment.

Two unsuspecting travelers from the United States stumble upon the town while hunting and are immediately swept up in the activities of the townsfolk whose home only appears for one day every one hundred years.

Tommy, who is unhappy with his mundane life in the States, is immediately drawn into the lives of the villagers who are wonderfully untouched by the modern word He meets and becomes fascinated with a lovely Scottish girl, Fiona, and his life will never be the same. Tommy's friend Jeff is less enchanted by the surroundings, but he too is eventually caught up in what is happening in Brigadoon, becoming reluctantly entangled with the fetching maid Meg. The villagers are eager with anticipation as the wedding of two young people, Charlie and Jeannie approaches, and the exciting day progresses from eager anticipation to wistful realization that the magical day must end and not come again for a hundred years. Tommy must make the decision to return to his life in New York or remain in the highlands, and his reluctant return to his old life is soon regretted. Somehow he must return to Brigadoon and to Fiona.
