HIGHLAND FLING
HoOOTs, and for the love of Mike! A Kelly among the Scots! Yes, that’s the way it was when M.G.M. made its film version of the Broadway and London musical comedy success Brigadoon. In CinemaScope broad enough to take in half the banks (not to mention the braes) of Scotland, Gene Kelly and Van Johnson sang and danced their way through their roles of Americans lost in a day’s dream of Brigadoon, the village which appears only once in a hundred years. Opposite Gene Kelly appeared Cyd Charisse, as bonnie a lass as ever roamed the heather on the hill. In YA Theatre of Music, on Saturday, September 22, listeners will hear excerpts from the sound track of the film, sung by Gene Kelly, Van Johnson, Carol Richards and John Gustafson. The music for the show is by Frederick Loewe and the lyrics by Alan Jay Lerner. Among the favourite numbers to be heard are the "Heather on the Hill," "I’ll Go Home with Bonnie Jean," "Come to Me, Bend to Me," "Almost Like Being in Love," and "There But For You Go I."
