The Rousuck Review: "Bright Star"

Photo by Joan Marcus

Every once in a while, we whisk you out of the Baltimore and Maryland theater scene to our neighboring city, Washington, DC. The new musical Bright Star -- featuring music and book by Steve Martin and music and lyrics by Edie Brickell -- is playing at the Kennedy Center Eisenhower Theater through Januaury 10, ahead of a spring opening on Broadway.  Maryland Morning Theater Critic J. Wynn Rousuck is here to share her thoughts on the performance.

J. Wynn Rousuck has been reviewing theater for WYPR's Midday (and previously, Maryland Morning) since 2007. Prior to that, she was the theater critic of The Baltimore Sun, where she reviewed more than 3,000 plays over the course of 23 years.
