The Bridges of Madison County
- Details
- Written by Dan Bacalzo
The Bridges of Madison County is the kind of musical that slowly but surely works its way into your heart. The opening number is not particularly flashy for a new Broadway tuner, and much of the rest of the show is understated. And yet there is an undeniable power that undergirds the work, adapted by book writer Marsha Norman and composer/lyricist Jason Robert Brown from Robert James Waller's 1992 best-selling novel of the same name that also inspired a 1995 film.

Vocal-student showcases are always a tricky proposition for an audience. The house is almost always packed to the rafters with eager friends and family of the participants, so thrilled to be seeing their darling on stage, that artistic integrity can often get lost in the midst of the excitement.
