Broadway's best gathered at the Cort Theatre last night to celebrate the opening of Bright Star, a new musical by Edie Brickell and Steve Martin. On hand for the special occasion were Bebe Neuwirth, Santino Fontana, and Josh Young, as well as members from the creative team, including Walter Bobbie, Josh Rhodes, Peter Asher and more!

Inspired by a real event, this "unabashedly romantic" (The New York Times) original musical 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.
