Infobox for film
I added an infobox for the 1954 film version in the "film" section of the article. If anyone feels it needs editing (adding/deleting info, moving to another section of the article, even deletion altogether) please feel free to do what you think is necessary. Thanks.

split proposal
This should be two separate articles, one for the stageplay, one for the film, which deserves to be fleshed out more. Chris (talk) 21:25, 23 November 2007 (UTC)

I just split the article and made a film article. Click Here. Melbrooksfan101 (talk) 1:38, 4 January 2008


 * Thanks, but you did not transfer the links. You need to click on the "What Links Here" button to the left of the article and go into all the links relevant to the film and change the musical's link to the film's link, OK?  I transferred some of them for you, but you need to go through and see which others should link to the film instead of the musical.  -- Ssilvers (talk) 23:37, 4 January 2008 (UTC)

Image-film poster
Now that the article has been separated from the film article, we need an image from the musical instead of the film poster that is now in the infobox. -- Ssilvers (talk) 00:10, 5 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Done. JeanColumbia (talk) 00:38, 5 January 2008 (UTC)

Brigadoon (musical) → Brigadoon — The article was controversially moved to the current location recently without discussion or consensus. The musical is the primary topic and the dab page, Brigadoon (disambiguation) has existed for over four years. Aspects (talk) 21:37, 28 February 2010 (UTC)


 * Agreed. Mark E (talk) 22:31, 28 February 2010 (UTC)

 * Agreed. The musical was the first to be produced, and should be considered primary.JeanColumbia (talk) 11:48, 1 March 2010 (UTC)
 * Agreed. Per nom. J. Van Meter (talk) 16:50, 1 March 2010 (UTC)
 * Support but I think moves like this can often be moved back without going through the formal move procedure, although it is often advisable to have a bit of discussion. PatGallacher (talk) 00:18, 5 March 2010 (UTC)
 * True, "moves like this can often be moved back without going through the formal move procedure", but consensus can help establish the preferred title early and prevent page move warring. —   AjaxSmack   17:21, 6 March 2010 (UTC)

Wrong Names In Synopsis
The Scots' last names in the synopsis follow the names used in the first English production, not the names as originally used on Broadway. Fiona and Jean's family is more properly MacLaren, not MacKeith, and Harry, the renegade, is more properly surnamed Beaton, not Ritchie. I noticed that at least one MacLaren remains (which is correct), but all the MacKeiths and Ritchies are incorrect. Someone should see to this, because not only are the names used in West End productions of Brigadoon incorrect in a synopsis of what is after all a Broadway and not West End musical, but the names used on Broadway are still in use today, at least in America.

No mention of Hy-Brasil?
The title above says enough of my point. :) Hy-Brasil is a mythical place west of Ireland/Scotland that is enshrouded in mist except for one day every seven years.  Brigadoon is a mythical place west of Ireland/Scotland that is enshrouded in mist except for one day every 100 years.  Is Brigadoon not just an overt retelling of the Hy-Brasil myth?  Or was that just always an assumption of mine?  --Mrcolj (talk) 20:21, 13 October 2015 (UTC)

Shangri La
Seems to be another Shangri-La knock-off. 50.202.81.2 (talk) 06:36, 18 January 2016 (UTC)
