Show Notes
Brace yourself as we dissect the rules governing Brigadoon, the peculiar village that has been Fiona's home since the 1700s. We discuss the mind-boggling concept of Brigadoon appearing only once every hundred years and its ability to be accessed by outsiders only when they're in love. Are you ready to learn more about the 1966 movie version of Brigadoon or the unpredictable trials and tribulations of Tommy and Jeff in Shmigadoon, Brigadoon's counterpart? We've got all that and more, including an intriguing look at a possible alternate universe fanfic.
The episode concludes with a harmonious exploration of Brigadoon's impressive musical score. We unpack the charm of unforgettable tracks like Fiona's 'I Want a Laddie', Charlie's 'Go Home With Bonnie Jean', and the heart-rending 'There But For You Go I'. Finally, we rank Lerner and Lowe musicals and share our mixed feelings about Brigadoon. Oh, and did we mention an unexpected detour through the Columbo episode Agenda for Murder? All this packed into one episode! So, come along and join us on this magical musical journey.
