The Bridges of Madison County will launch a national tour beginning Fall 2015.
The most gorgeous music on Broadway in the 2013-2014 season could be heard at the newly-renovated Schoenfeld Theatre. That is where five-time Tony® nominee Kelli O’Hara and “barihunk” Steven Pasquale starred in the most romantic musical Broadway had seen in years. Featuring a Tony Award-winning score by composer Jason Robert Brown, The Bridges of Madison County is the unforgettable story of two people caught between decision and desire, as a chance encounter becomes a second chance at so much more.
Who’s Who in the Cast: Kelli O’Hara as Francesca Johnson and Steven Pasquale as Robert Kincaid, the handsome National Geographic photographer at the heart of this love story. Also: Hunter Foster as Bud Johnson, Derek Klena and Caitlin Kinnunen as Michael and Carolyn Johnson, Cass Morgan as Marge, and Whitney Bashor in an auspicious Broadway debut as Marion.
