"With a score dripping with lush love songs and a simple but moving story set around a wedding in the dreamy highlands of Scotland, Brigadoon is one of the most romantic musicals ever written. Hale Centre Theatre features a cast with exceptional singing voices and energetic dance steps, resulting in a gorgeous and solid production of this classic musical....Director Cambrian James does a wonderful job staging the show in the small Hale space to provide a perfect amount of intimacy while also using the various aisles and stairs to expand the feeling of a larger town setting for the many large ensemble numbers. His choreography is superb and well danced by the cast....As Tommy Albright, Austin Delp's rich voice delivers gorgeous versions of some of the show's biggest hits. He and Amanda Valenzuela, as Fiona MacLaren, create a romantic pair you want to see succeed, even though there is a big obstacle in the way of their budding romance. Valenzuela creates a warm and honest portrayal of Fiona with a lilting singing voice that soars...."   -Gil Benbrook, Talkin' Broadway (click here to read the complete review)
