‘Bright Star’ appears  at Winspear

Chances are you don’t think the team of Steve Martin and Edie Brickell and immediately conjure “bluegrass Broadway musical.” But you’d be wrong. Martin, of course, is a longtime lover of the banjo, and Oak Cliff native Brickell has infused Americana into her pop songs. So it probably makes more sense than you imagine that they combined forces a few Broadway seasons ago to create Bright Star, a tale of redemption and love spanning 20 years at the start of the 20th century. The national tour of this show closes out the AT&T Performing Arts Center’s Broadway Series at the Winspear.

The joyous performance features some of Dallas’ most talented actors, singers and dancers, where women sing songs originally composed for men and vice versa. It’s always a blast. B.J. Cleveland wrote, directed and hosts the evening.
