Sondheim's Passion - Loving You

Passion is a musical adapted from Ettore Scola's film Passione d'Amore (which was, in its turn, based on Iginio Ugo Tarchetti's novel Fosca). The book is by James Lapine, with music and lyrics by Stephen Sondheim. Central subjects include obsession, beauty, power, manipulation, passion, illness, and love.

Set in Italy in 1863, the plot revolves around Fosca, an ugly woman, and her love for Giorgio, a comely soldier who in turn is in love with an attractive, married woman named Clara. These roles were created by Donna Murphy, Jere Shea, and Marin Mazzie respectively.
