Bright Star is a beautifully written musical about a young woman growing up in the Blue Ridge mountains of North Carolina.  We see her first as a young carefree woman and then watch how her life changes as she becomes a well-to-do magazine editor 22 years later.  Her story is inevitably woven with that of an idealistic young man named Billy, with whom she shares a mysterious connection.  The blue grass score, (written by actor Steve Martin and Edie Brickell) provides a rich musical palette with which this story is painted.
