WHAT IS IT ABOUT?
Ana Gasteyer, Adam Brazier, and Kathy Voytko star in the Chicago Shakespeare Theater's production of Stephen Sondheim and James Lapine's Passion. Gary Griffin directs.
The musical tells the story of Fosca, an ailing and ugly woman whose obsession with Giorgio, an Italian soldier, makes him reconsider his relationship with Clara, his beautiful, married girlfriend. The original Broadway run won four Tony Awards, including Best Musical.
