{"product_id":"passion-1994-original-broadway-cast","title":"Passion (1994 Original Broadway Cast) - 8396","description":"Amazon.com\n\nBased on the Italian movie Passione d'amore, Stephen Sondheim's Passion is a story of obsessive love. Giorgio (Jere Shea), a soldier, and Clara (Marin Mazzie), a woman with a husband and child, are deeply in love, but their idyllic happiness is disrupted when Giorgio is transferred to another post. Here, he meets Signora Fosca (Donna Murphy), a homely and ill woman who is the cousin of the regiment's commanding officer. Fosca soon falls in love with Giorgio and pursues him relentlessly, saying \"Loving you is not a choice \/ It's who I am.\" He is repulsed and resists her advances, but eventually, he succumbs to the power of her love.\nRather than a succession of individual songs strung together by dialogue, Sondheim's score is a constant flow of gorgeous music. (The original theater program listed no individual songs.) The plot is conveyed by song, some dialogue, letters between the characters, and a group of soldiers that serves as a Greek chorus. The result is more of a chamber opera than a conventional musical. Passion won Tonys for Best Musical, Best Score, and Best Book of 1994, and Murphy also won a Tony for her powerful performance as Fosca. Mazzie is in glorious voice as Clara, and Shea brings a pretty voice and a wooden personality to Giorgio. --David Horiuchi\u003cbr\u003eASIN: B000002SLC\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: GGV.B000002SLC.LN\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Like New\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Stephen Sondheim|Marin Mazzie|Donna Murphy\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Audio cd\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Recycle4","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49691653767466,"sku":"GGV.B000002SLC.LN","price":10.54,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0773\/0819\/9210\/files\/skuimage_23b7aabc-4a10-4599-afe9-0087239937d6.jpg?v=1733877243","url":"https:\/\/recycle4.com\/products\/passion-1994-original-broadway-cast","provider":"Recycle4","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
