“‘Starstruck’ is set in the fictitious Idaho mountain town Sawtooth, where Malone’s character, a park ranger and amateur astronomer named Cyd DeBerg, is trying to establish a Dark Sky Reserve, where lights are banned at night to allow for stargazing. Idaho is home to America’s first designated Dark Sky Reserve, established in 2017, giving the musical real-world grounding.” (h/t @imherzen)
