Passion Details

Winner of the 1994 Tony Awards for Best Book, Best Music and Lyrics, and Best Musical   "Easily among Sondheim's bestsubtle, rhapsodic and full of emotional depth." David Patrick Stearns, USA Today   "Hypnotic, rigorous, very risky...a major work." Vincent Canby, New York Times   "Held me in its grip...had me sobbing uncontrollably...Sondheim's deepest, most powerful work." Robert Brustein, New Republic   Passion is the third original collaboration between Stephen Sondheim and James Lapine. Their first, Sunday in the Park with George, earned them a Pulitzer Prize. Their second, Into the Woods, won Tony, Grammy, Drama Desk, and Drama Critics Circle awards.

Reviews

As with all of Sondheim's shows, with the possible exceptions of Follies and Sweeney Todd, the book is very hard to read without some sort of knowledge of the score, because that's what dominates the show. Other than a few scattered spoken passages, PASSION is completely sung-through. My recommendation would be to listen to the original cast recording as you read, so you can better understand the action.
