Winner of the 1994 Tony Award for Best Musical
No less than the wondrously complex landscape of the human heart is the
subject of this haunting, intensely emotional musical by the uncompromising
creators of “Sunday In The Park With George” and “Into The Woods.”
A remote military outpost in 1863 Italy, a handsome army captain,
separated from his beautiful – but married – mistress, is forced to
re-evaluate his beliefs about love when he becomes the object of the
obsessive, unrelenting passions of Fosca, his Colonel’s plain, sickly
cousin.

appropriate for young audience members.
