Passion May 3rd – 19th

Description

In the tradition of QCTC’s hit musicals such as “Side Show”, “Evita” and “CHESS”, one more Broadway classic comes to the intimate setting of the Duke Energy Theater: the regional premiere of Stephen Sondheim’s PASSION.

Winner of the Tony Award for Best Musical, Best Book of a Musical and Best Original Score!

From the creators of “Sunday in the Park With George” and “Into The Woods”, PASSION is bold, unexpected and thrilling and one of Sondheim’s most emotional works. Intimate, raw, erotic and dark, it explores universal yet often unspoken truths.

In 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.

PASSION, a theatrical masterpiece, comes to Charlotte with this grand and intimate production featuring some of the most talented regional actors and a perfect combination of lights, costumes and scenic design to tell a story of love and desire that you will never forget.
