Music and Lyrics by Stephen Sondheim
Book by James Lapine
He is a handsome soldier; she is homely and ailing. The turbulent relationship
between Giorgio and Fosca may seem impossible, but it proves to be all-consuming
in this 1994 Tony winner for Best Musical. This luminous show rhapsodizes on
the theme of love, but also plumbs its darker side in a haunting tale of obsession
and possession.
