Madison High School Opens Bright Star Thursday

MADISON, NJ - Madison High School presents the musical Bright Star Thursday through Sunday and tickets are available now.

This year's spring musical was inspired by a real event and features the Grammy-nominated score by Steven Martin and Edie Brickell. Broadway's Bright Star 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 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 as refreshingly genuine as it is daringly hopeful.

The show dates and times are as follows:

• March 14th 6:30 p.m.
• March 15th 7:30 p.m.
• March 16th 2:00 p.m.
• March 16th 7:30 p.m.

All performances are at Madison High School, 170 Ridgedale Ave.
