One of the most romantic stories ever written, THE BRIDGES OF MADISON COUNTY 2014 Tony Award-winning Best Original Score and Best Orchestrations, makes its North Texas debut at the Music Hall at Fair Park February 2-14, 2016, presented by Dallas Summer Musicals.
The Bridges of Madison County was a hit film in 1995 for Meryl Streep and Clint Eastwood.

It should have played on and on and walked away with a slew of awards.
