After my shower, I sat outside in the sun in the afternoon with my husky napping on the grass near me, and I listened to the musical book with different renditions such as plays, the movie, a ballet, the original soundtrack and to say, it was a magical experience is an understatement.

I have never heard of brigadoon before but while listening and reading it, I still couldn't help but feel nostalgic. It feels like being in an old animated Disney movie, the songs were just amazing, and I especially liked Patrick Wilson's version of the soundtrack (if this ever gets a remake, pls cast him omgg).

With the book, I'm hoping to learn a few bits and pieces on the piano, especially "almost like being in love". It really did feel like being in a scottish mythical fairytale so this book is a little treasure.

This is the musical - yes. It is on the Rory Gilmore reading challenge, so I grabbed it to "read". It is mostly the songs, but the story is in there too. It is one of my favorite musicals, so it was fun.
