2021 Spring Musical: Bright Star, Concert Version

Cary High Performing Arts is excited to announce that there will be a 2021 Virtual Spring Musical production!

Viewing on May 20-22, 2021

Bright Star Concert Version is the smaller version of the original musical written by Steve Martin and Edie Brickell by the same name. The Concert Version was first performed in Dec. 2012 and later developed into the Broadway version in 2016. It is an 80-minute version, with a few less songs, less characters, and less dialogue–but still the same bluegrass, folksy music and beautiful story that takes place from 1923-1946 in the Blue Ridge Mountains of North Carolina.
