The Bridges of Madison County
A sweeping musical romance of desire and sacrifice based on the best-selling novel.
After marrying an American soldier to escape Italy at the end of World War II, Francesca builds herself a home in Iowa, raising two children and settling into a steady but unremarkable routine. Then one day, she meets Robert, a charismatic photographer, who awakens her passion and changes her life forever.
With a gorgeous Tony Award-winning score by Jason Robert Brown (The Last Five Years, Parade) and a moving book by Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright Marsha Norman (The Color Purple, The Secret Garden), The Bridges of Madison County is a ravishing story about the choices we make for love.
“Music is the food of love… and Mr. Brown gives us plenty of rich fare to feast on.”
– The New York Times

Mark Evans returns to Signature Theatre after his turn as Cal Chandler in The Fix. Now playing Robert Kincaid, the charismatic photographer from The Bridges of Madison County, Mark sits down with Education Director David Zobell to speak about his journey from the hills of North Wales to the West End and finally to Broadway – and perhaps he’ll share some Welsh!
