The world premiere of Bright Star , the new American musical by Steve Martin and Edie Brickell, officially opened at San Diego's Old Globe Theatre Sept. 28 following previews that began Sept. 13.
What I found so utterly engaging about the world premiere of Steve Martin and Edie Brickell's new musical BRIGHT STAR is its complete unpretentiousness.
