‘The Bridges of Madison County’ is set in Iowa in 1965 and tells the story of Francesca Johnson, an Italian war bride who has led a quiet and unfulfilling farm life. When her husband and two children leave on a three-day trip to Indianapolis, she meets and has an affair with Robert, a photographer for the National Geographic, who is in town to photograph the famous covered bridges of Madison County. This show captures the lyrical expanse of America’s heartland and is the winner of the 2014 Tony Award for Best Score and Orchestrations. The themes include the roads people travel, the doors they open and the bridges they dare to cross. It stars Mary Morrow as Francesca, Nick Szoeke as Robert Kincaid, Robby Vance as Bud, Ramsay Sweatmon as Michael and Campbell Wilford as Carolyn. J. Scott Lapp is the director, Darrin Newhardt the music director and Courtnie Mercer the choreographer.
