Bright Star is a heartwarming bluegrass musical - performed under the Texas Hill Country stars, right along the Medina River. Inspired by a true story, BRIGHT STAR is a sweeping, heartfelt musical featuring a Tony®-nominated score by Steve Martin and Edie Brickell. Set against the vibrant backdrop of the American South in the 1920s and 1940s, this deeply emotional tale explores love, loss, and the transformative power of redemption. 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. While family-friendly, this musical does cover complex topics including child birth, adoption, death and family trauma. We encourage families to have heartfelt and open discussions both before and after attending the show and hope that the story will touch many hearts.
