magical village, which appears only one day every hundred years. Gene
Kelly, Van Johnson, and Cyd Charisse star in this 1954 Cinemascope
masterpiece, directed by Vincente Minnelli. The film Brigadoon was
adapted from the popular Alan Jay Lerner production, which originally
played on Broadway for 581 performances.
Liza Lerner co-produced the revival of Camelot in 2007. The daughter
of Alan Jay Lerner, she is currently reviving her father=92s Brigadoon
which will return to Broadway in the spring of 2009 with a revised
book by Tony Award winner John Guare and new choreography by director
Rob Ashford.
