Gordon Lightfoot gets his very own musical
Sid Adilman
ABBA HAS a stage show built around its songs; so does Boy George, in London.
Bruce Springsteen will get one, as will Billy Joel and the Pet Shop Boys.
Now Gordon Lightfoot will, too.
The Charlottetown Festival's second stage this summer will premiere a cabaret show, If You Could Read My Mind: The Music Of Gordon Lightfoot, with 25 of his songs, among them "Early Morning Rain," "The Canadian Railroad Trilogy" and "Alberta Bound," linked by patter.
Duncan McIntosh, the festival's new artistic director, is putting the show together with writer Michael Lewis MacLennan and if it works it could be the first production originated by the Charlottetown Festival to land on the mainland in years. It runs from June 24 to Sept.7 for five performances a week.
