The Bridges of Madison County, one of the most romantic stories ever written, is now an irresistible, two-time Tony Award-Winning Broadway musical. This stunning new production features gorgeous, soulful music by Tony Award-Winning composer Jason Robert Brown (Parade, The Last Five Years) that draws upon the rich textures of Americana and folk and the sweeping, expressive balladry of classic Broadway. BroadwayWorld has a first look at the cast in action at Manatee Performing Arts Center below!

With a book by Pulitzer Prize Winner Marcia Norman (The Secret Garden, The Color Purple), the production is directed by Kathy Pingel, music directed by Thomas Guthrie, and choreographed by Vanessa Russo, with set design by Donna Buckalter, lighting design by Ryan E. Finzelber, costume design by Becky Evans and stage management by Tiffany Smith.
