Friends In Deed will present a special 10th anniversary concert of PASSION, featuring music and lyrics by Stephen Sondheim and book and direction by James Lapine on Wednesday, October 20 at 7 PM at The Ambassador Theatre (219 West 49th Street).

The concert will feature the original Broadway leading ladies Donna Murphy (Fosca) and Marin Mazzie (Clara) and star of the 2002 Kennedy Center production Michael Cerveris (Giorgio) along with other original Broadway cast members.

Set in 19th century Italy, PASSION is the tale of a handsome army captain, separated from his beautiful – but married – mistress, is forced to re-evaluate his beliefs about love when he becomes the object of the obsessive, unrelenting passions of Fosca, his Colonel's plain, sickly cousin.

PASSION originally opened on Broadway on May 9, 1994 at the Plymouth Theatre. The production received four 1994 Tony Awards: Best Musical, Best Book (James Lapine), Best Original Score (Stephen Sondheim), and Best Actress (Donna Murphy).
