Brigadoon revival releases production photos

Regent’s Park Open Air Theatre has released first look images of its revival of Lerner and Loewe’s Brigadoon.

The musical follows WW2 fighter pilots Tommy and Jeff, who crash land in the Highlands of Scotland and search for a way home. Meanwhile, sisters Fiona and Jean are preparing for a wedding in the dreamlike village of Brigadoon.

Rona Munro’s adaptation is directed and choreographed by Regent’s Park Open Air Theatre’s artistic director, Drew McOnie.

The cast features Danielle Fiamanya and Georgina Onuorah, who will share the role of Fiona, alongside Louis Gaunt as Tommy, Jasmine Jules Andrews as Jean MacLaren, and Gilli Jones as Charlie Dalrymple, who took to The London Palladium stage to perform “Come To Me, Bend To Me” in an exclusive first performance at the 25th Annual WhatsOnStage Awards.
