This 1994 Tony Award-winner for Best Musical is adapted from Ettore Scola’s 1981 Italian film “Passione d’Amore” and features the work of Stephen Sondheim.
Story:
Giorgio, a handsome Italian captain, is transferred from Milan at the height of a passionate love affair with a married woman - the indisputably beautiful Clara. While stationed at a provincial military outpost, Giorgio struggles to connect with other soldiers, but begins to build a friendship with the Colonel’s sickly, tormented niece, Fosca. As time passes, Giorgio finds himself torn between the unavailable and uncommitted Clara and the obsessive Fosca, an emotional battle that has dangerous consequences and teaches him the true meaning of love.
