The Stephen Sondheim collection.
A haunting study of obsessive love, this striking production offers a visual and musical feast that will linger in your heart and soul forever.
An unforgettable chronicle of the redemptive power of love, PASSION is a mesmerizing musical rhapsody from the Broadway team of Stephen Sondheim and James Lapine (Into the Woods, Sunday in the Park with George). In 19th century Italy, handsome soldier Giorgio is embroiled in a steamy affair with lovely, and married, Clara. Giorgio is transferred from Milan to a remote military outpost, where he comes in contact with the ailing, homely Fosca, his commanding officer's cousin. Fosca falls instantly and deeply in love with Giorgio, who resists her affections. Gradually, she reveals, and Giorgio learns to appreciate, what is truly beautiful about herself.
Cast: Donna Murphy, Jere Shea, Marin Mazzie, Tom Aldredge.
