Artistic Director Justin Lucero will lead Latté Da’s 99th mainstage production and a return to its signature staging of Sondheim’s masterworks.
Set in 1860s Italy, a gripping, fiery love triangle ignites when a dashing army captain is transferred to a remote military outpost. Giorgio, already in a passionate, clandestine affair with Clara back home, enters the sights and heart of Fosca, a fragile woman who turns out to be capable of adoration and desire unlike anything he has ever known. This Best Musical Tony winner, one of Sondheim’s most unforgettable, is an exultantly dramatic journey of love, desire, and obsession.
Featuring Phinehas Bynum, Erin Capello, Isa Condo-Olvera, Dylan Frederick, Bradley Greenwald, Theo Janke-Furman, Riley McNutt, Eric Morris, Rodolfo Nieto, and Adán Varela, with understudies Hope Nordquist and Wesley Frye.
PASSION runs 100 minutes with no intermission.
With gratitude to our Production Partner Rita Olk.
