FROM STEVE FROM EDIE
The music from Bright Star is often referred to as a bluegrass score. I had no idea stage actors could walk into a recording studio and

audiences as they listen to the story unfold. I would be remiss if I didnt say how grateful I am to Carmen

expression. When I understood what she could do, I was inspired
to write songs that would allow her voice a chance to shine and
set it free.

I am so thankful to all involved.

FROM PETER
I have always loved the oddly plangent sound of the 5-string banjo. Decades ago I spent a few weeks huddled over the Pete Seeger book myself trying to learn
to play the instrument before deciding it was too hard or I was too lazy. So any friend who could pick up a banjo after dinner and play beautiful music (which
I might even get to accompany on guitar) was already to be treasured. And my friend Steve had even figured out how to compose elegant and remarkable
tunes within the curious harmonic confines of an instrument with a drone string. I loved them as they were; but our collective journey really began on the
evening Steve played me some demos of songs which Edie Brickell had written over some of these tunes. Rather than just adding lyrics to the existing melody,
she had created (in each case) a beautiful, catchy and highly evocative new song on tobased on and inspired by the original banjo tune. I was very impressed
and made a few suggestions as to how these songs could perhaps be arranged and recorded. And thus we somehow find ourselves a few years (and a couple
of albums) later celebrating the release of this cast recording of my new favourite Broadway show.

I cannot even remember precisely the first time I heard Steve and Edie mention the idea of writing a stage show togetherbut it seemed so logical at the
time. We had a startlingly brilliant lyricist and an imaginative, literate and witty playwright, who together wrote the most beautiful songshow hard could
it be? Well, now we know. They needed many more extraordinarily talented people than just the two of them, along with time, hard work, patience and an
open-minded willingness to throw ideas (and characters and songs) away without dismay.

Watching the two of them (and all of us lucky enough to be involved in the process) learn and change as Bright Star took on a life of its own has been
exhilarating and educationaland Steve and Edie took to it all with such joy, enthusiasm, determination and unbridled creativity that everything seemed
to fall into place. Every individual member of the team brought so much more to the process than I would ever have imagined possible and the collective
Edie Brickell, Steve Martin, Walter Bobbie
results continue to amaze me.

And it fell to me, finally, to create a record of this amazing music and the brilliance of our band and cast (along with the spirit and emotional resonance of the show itself). I wanted to capture, as best I could, the live excitement
of great actors, singers and musicians at work and give the result the intensity and clarity of a modern recordand everyone threw themselves into that process with the same unalloyed zeal this project seems to inspire in
us all. Bright Star itself is perhaps about the power of optimism and determinationand its creation (and that of this album) came from the same root. A very intense couple of days in the studio with a band and cast already
performing every night in the theatre and our indefatigable creative team giving me everything I needed and more.

I am so proud to be involved and thank everyone for the education, inspiration and sheer joy with which the Bright Star experience has provided mewith special thanks to Rob Berman, a truly indispensable musical
collaborator on this record.

SOMETHING RARE
AND RAVISHING
Bright Star is an original.
At a time when most musicals are based upon popular movies, childrens
stories, biographies or song catalogs, Bright Star stands apart from
them. It dares to tell an original story in an original and theatrical
way. Its creators (and musical theatre neophytes) Steve Martin and
Edie Brickell have spent the last few years writing songs together.
He, with his trademark banjo and she, with her lilting sophisticated
southern-flavored spirited songs, found themselves inspired by
a shocking incident and, born out of a long-standing affection for
Broadway musicals, have developedwith the Broadway know-how
of Tony Award-winning director Walter Bobbiea sweeping romantic
musical that unashamedly wears its Americana heart on its sleeve.
The music is deceptively simple. It is filled with long-flowing infectious
melodic lines coupled with clear-headed lyrics that illuminate a heart-
breaking folk tale of love, betrayal and redemption. This is achieved in
a seemingly effortless and casual manner, infused with the authors
characteristic good humor and warmheartedness.
Because its story is original, there was no shorthand available to the
creative team to establish the characters and situation. Whatever
we know about these characters comes from the creative teams
imagination. The combination of character broad strokes and tiny
details gives Bright Star a deep emotional foundation for the light-at-
the-end-of-the-tunnel journey to come. We might think we know
whats going to happen but the authors are there to surprise us with
deft twists and turns of the plot. The central characters all possess flaws
of human nature, yet all long to be better people. Bright Stars emotional
arc resonates far beyond the shocking incident that inspired it. Once
we may have figured out what the relationship of the parallel plots
is, the story switches gears away from the what and we become
surprised and moved by the how.
The golden and sepia-soaked onstage world of Bright Star is dominated
by scenic designer Eugene Lees open-walled, constantly shifting
cabin that when moved by the ensemble of townspeople can become
whatever it needs to be: a homestead, a bookstore, a bar or a bandstand.
Japhy Weidemans atmospheric lighting, Nevin Steinbergs naturalistic
soundscape and Jane Greenwoods understated, yet sophisticated costumes
fuse together with Walter Bobbies meticulous staging and Josh
Rhodes fluid choreography to create an idealized pre-war and post-
war American South.
All of this would be in vain, though, if the show didnt have the
actors to carry it off. In her auspicious Broadway debut, Carmen
Cusack simultaneously dazzles us as a rebellious teenager and as
a more staid, reserved, older career woman. Paul Alexander Nolan
captures the youthful charm of her young lover and also the lifelong
sadness of a man with regrets. A.J. Shively effectively possesses
the focused ambition of a young artist while Hannah Elless, with
warmth and humor, patiently awaits his realization that she is what
he has been searching for all along. The rest of the cast of seasoned
Broadway veterans provides the emotional foundation for the
romantic fable that unfolds.
Whether its the high and naughty-spirited Whoa, Mama, the open
optimism of Bright Star, the devastating theatricality of Heartbreaker,
or the mournful sadness of I Had a Vision, listening to Steve Martin
and Edie Brickells infectious and theatrical score is one of the happiest
and most original surprises in recent Broadway musical history.
In the end though, its the way this musical reminds us each of our
longing to honestly connect and to understand who and what we are
in the worldand does it in a way thats utterly devoid of cynicism
and with pure unalloyed hopefulness so apparent in Sun Is Gonna
Shinethat resonates deepest in the hearts of the audience long after
the curtain has come down.
BILL ROSENFIELD
SYNOPSIS
ACT ONE
1945
As the music begins, the lights come up on 38-year-old Alice Murphy, a successful editor
of the literary magazine, the Asheville Southern Journal. However, instead of overseeing
other peoples stories, tonight belongs to her. If You Knew My Story.
Hayes Creek, North Carolina. Billy Cane, a young soldier and aspiring writer, has
returned home from the war where he finds his childhood friend Margo visiting his
father, Daddy Cane. After some warm pleasantries about the stories Billy has sent home
for Margo to read, she makes her excuses and leaves the two of them to talk. Daddy
Cane tells him the sorrowful news about Billys mother. Shes Gone.
A few weeks later at Margos bookshop, Billy tells her that he is going to travel to
Asheville to submit his stories in person to the Asheville Southern Journal. Bright Star.
Upon his arrival at the Journals offices, he finds himself rebuffed by Alice Murphys
assistants, Daryl and Lucy, who warn him of just how formidable Miss Murphy is. (She
once made Ernest Hemingway cry.) However, Miss Murphy finds herself charmed by a
brazen lie that Billy tells and decides to consider his stories. Lucy, sensing an opening
with her boss, invites her to a dance that evening at the Shiny Penny. Alice declines
but does remember a time when she would have gone. Way Back in the Day.
1923
In the tiny town of Zebulon, North Carolina, Alice Murphy (now 16-years-old) is flirting
heavily with Jimmy Ray, the Mayors son. The attraction is mutual. Whoa, Mama.
When Alice returns home to Daddy and Mama Murphy, they reprimand her and ponder
her unfortunate future. Firmer Hand/Do Right.
Similarly, when Jimmy Ray returns home, his father, the Mayor, lectures him on just
what the future holds for him, and it doesnt include the likes of Alice Murphy. A
Mans Gotta Do.
1945
Upon receiving encouragement from Alice in the form of a check for $10, Billy decides
to leave Hayes Creek and settle in Asheville where he can write full time. Margo had
other hopes for her future with Billy, but she puts them aside to be supportive of his
dreams. Asheville.
1923
Alice and Jimmy Ray escape down to the riverbank during a dance and do exactly
what their parents forbade them to do. What Could Be Better.
A short time later in Dr. Norquists office, Alice finds out why she hasnt been feeling
well the past few days. Jimmy Ray wants to do the right thing but the Mayor forbids it.
The Mayor and the doctor arrange for Alice to stay in a cabin in the woods for the
Carmen Cusack, Michael Pearce duration of her pregnancy (no point in bringing shame upon herself and her family).
While distressed at the situation, she is often visited by Jimmy Ray and utilizes her
time by knitting a sweater for the baby. I Cant Wait.
Shortly after the baby boy is born, Alice, with both Daddy and Mama Murphy present,
is visited by the Mayor and his lawyer who have conspired together to put the baby
up for adoption. Please, Dont Take Him. Alice loses the argument, and Daddy Murphy
signs the adoption papers. The Mayor takes the baby and puts him in a valise, leaving
the shattered family behind.
Later that night, as the train to Asheville is crossing Hayes Creek, he decides to
eliminate the possibility of a scandal altogether and, when no one is looking, he tosses
the newborn baby in the valise into the river below. A Mans Gotta Do (Reprise).
