Discover the power of love in Stephen Sondheim and James Lapine’s 1994 Tony Award-winning musical, Passion. Classic Stage Company is proud to present the first fully-staged New York revival of this rarely-performed masterpiece, helmed by the innovative John Doyle who has been celebrated for his revelatory reinterpretations of Sondheim’s Sweeney Todd and Company.
Experience this remarkable work that has grown in both critical and popular esteem to become what many consider to be Sondheim’s deepest and most powerful evening of musical theatre.
“I saw Melissa Errico in Passion and there’s not a week that goes by that I don’t think about it.”
