  • Passion is a musical adapted from Ettore Scola's film Passione d'Amore (which was, in its turn, based on Iginio Ugo Tarchetti's novel Fosca). The book is by James Lapine, with music and lyrics by Stephen Sondheim. Central subjects include obsession, beauty, power, manipulation, passion, illness, and love. It is also a partially epistolary play, parts of the story being told through letters. Set in Italy in 1863, the plot revolves around a handsome soldier, Giorgio, and his encounters with Fosca, a homely invalid whose love shatters and ultimately changes him. Giorgio's vain and superficial mistress, Clara, corresponds through letters with him throughout the show. These roles were created by Jere Shea, Donna Murphy and Marin Mazzie respectively. Passion is also notable for being the only other show, apart from Sweeney Todd, that Stephen Sondheim himself conceived. After 52 previews Passion opened on Broadway at the Plymouth Theatre on May 9, 1994 and closed on January 7, 1995. The show ran a total of 280 performances, making it the shortest-running musical ever to win the Tony Award for Best Musical.
