My friend and I were visiting friends in Bardstown for the first time and we were so fortunate to have been invited to attend this show. I highly recommend it to anyone visiting the area. The venue was great. The songs and performances were wonderful. My Old Kentucky Home sung as the finale brought me to tears. Would definitely see it again.

I must share this story! We took our 4 year old granddaughter to see the Stephen Foster Story this past weekend. When she was born, her mother did not sing the typical lullaby, but sang "The Sun Shines Bright on My Old Kentucky Home". When the finale came and the actors/actresses were belting out this song, my granddaughter looked up at me with such excitement and said, "it's my favorite song"!!! She loved everything from costumes, to music! So glad I didn't think she was too young to see this production!!
