The team also includes scenic design by two-time Tony Award-winner MICHAEL YEARGAN (The Light in the Piazza, South Pacific), costume design by six-time Tony Award-winner CATHERINE ZUBER (South Pacific, The Light in the Piazza, The Coast of Utopia), lighting design by two-time Tony Award-winner DONALD HOLDER (South Pacific, The Lion King), sound design by JON WESTON, arrangements and orchestrations by JASON ROBERT BROWN, movement by DANNY MEFFORD and casting by TELSEY + COMPANY/CESAR ROCHA, CSA.

Featuring gorgeous, soulful music that draws upon the rich textures of Americana and folk and the sweeping balladry of classic Broadway, Joe Dziemianowicz of the New York Daily News hails it as "...one of Broadway's best scores in the last decade." Tom Geier of Entertainment Weekly exclaims that Brown "... has written a lush and deeply romantic score, filled with rich and melodic duets," and NPR proclaims it's, "MAGIC! An evening you will cherish long after the show is over!"

Based on the best-selling novel by ROBERT JAMES WALLER, THE BRIDGES OF MADISON COUNTY tells the story of Iowa housewife Francesca Johnson and her life-changing, four-day whirlwind romance with traveling photographer Robert Kincaid. It's an unforgettable story of two people caught between decision and desire, as a chance encounter becomes a second chance at so much more.
