A new adaptation of classic Lerner & Loewe musical Brigadoon is coming to Regent’s Park Open Air Theatre this summer 2025.
The show was announced today during the venue’s 2025 season launch.
Adapted by leading Scottish playwright Rona Munro (The James Plays), with original dances created by Agnes De Mille, the show will play Regent’s Park Open Air Theatre from 2 August to 20 September 2025.
Directed and choreographed by Olivier Award-winner Drew McOnie (Jesus Christ Superstar), Brigadoon will be his first production as Artistic Director of Regent’s Park Open Air Theatre.
Brigadoon will star Danielle Fiamanya (Otherland) as Fiona, and Louis Gaunt (Mary Poppins) as Tommy, with further casting to be announced.
Joining Drew McOnie in the creative team will be: Laura Bangay (Musical Director); Basia Bińkowska (Set Designer); Will Burton (Casting Director); Sami Fendall (Costume Designer); Carol Hancock (Associate Wigs, Hair & Makeup Designer & Supervisor), Cory Hippolyte (Associate Director); Hazel Holder (Voice Coach); Jessica Hung Han Yun (Lighting Designer); Nick Lidster for Autograph (Sound Designer); Ingrid Mackinnon (Intimacy Director); Drew McOnie (Director & Choreographer); Ebony Molina (Associate Choreographer); Morag Stark (Dialect Coach); and Sarah Travis (Music Supervisor & Orchestrator).
From Alan Jay Lerner (Book & Lyrics) and Frederick Loewe (Music), the writers of My Fair Lady, Camelot and Gigi, the magical outdoor Regent’s Park Open Air Theatre will be the perfect setting for this Scottish Highlands-set show.
Crash landed in the Highlands of Scotland, WW2 fighter pilots Tommy and Jeff are searching for a way home, whilst just beyond the hills, sisters Fiona and Jean are preparing for a wedding. Over the course of one chance day in the dreamlike village of Brigadoon, their stories entwine. But can love endure in this enchanting place where everything is not quite as it seems?
Brigadoon boasts crowd-pleasing songs including ‘Almost Like Being in Love’, ‘Waitin’ for My Dearie’ and ‘The Heather on the Hill’.
Brigadoon is part of Drew McOnie’s first season as Artistic Director of Regent’s Park Open Air Theatre. The director and choreographer joined the venue in January 2024.
Other musicals playing during the 2025 season at Regent’s Park Open Air Theatre is award-winning Broadway musical Shucked. Shucked will star Monique Ashe-Palmer, Ben Joyce, Sophie McShera, Georgina Onuorah, Keith Ramsay, Matthew Seadon-Young, and Steven Webb.
Last year’s musical at Regent’s Park Open Air Theatre was Jordan Fein’s new production of classic Broadway musical Fiddler on the Roof. That show proved a huge success, and is transferring to London’s Barbican Theatre this summer, from 24 May to 9 July 2025.
Brigadoon is playing at Regent’s Park Open Air Theatre from 2 August to 20 September 2025.
