The show, loosely based on the musical Brigadoon, follows couple Josh and Melissa, who hail from New York, as they head to the mountains to rekindle their relationship. They end up finding themselves somehow stuck in the 1940s, in a musical town called Schmigadoon. More information on tickets can be found here.
