Not only does she play both a convincing teenager and middle-aged adult, but also she remains full of energy and emotion on stage for almost the entire show. THE CHARACTERS and CAST: Lead actress Audrey Cardwell does an insanely great job as Alice Murphy. It was powerful and just a really cool dimension to add to the show. One of my favorite parts of the show was how as the story unfolds on the stage in the 1920s and 1940s, you can see ensemble members in the background and sides of the stage watching it happen, as if they are also watching a story being told. The music was phenomenal and the story was moving (inspired by the true story of a baby who fell from a train in 1902). But when the opportunity arrived for me to go down to North Carolina to see this musical set in North Carolina, I jumped on it, and I am so glad that I did. I enjoy Bluegrass music, but I have to be completely honest that when Bright Star was on Broadway, watching a bluegrass musical wasn’t at the top of my list (I had my doubts about a bluegrass musical).
It follows the story of a young soldier returning home from WWII, his interactions with the editor of a literary magazine, and the unearthing of a life-altering truth.
