Steve Martin's Bright Star One way to make your musical standout? Don’t have the music be too musical-y. That sort of show tune theatrical pomp can wear thin if the tunes aren’t top tier. Another way to make your musical standout? Be Steve Martin. Both factors come into play for Bright Star, the bluegrass musical Martin wrote with Edie Brickell after the pair made the Grammy-winning album Love Has Come for You. Amid the Southern bluegrass and country tunes, Bright Star tells the story of a wild North Carolinian girl who leaves her small town love behind and becomes a magazine editor, only for a young writer from her hometown to show up bearing echoes from her past. Spokane Valley Summer Theater’s production serves as a summer night inside, but still under the stars.
