Bridges of Madison County - Fabulously Done with Exceptional Cast

OK.  So I am thinking this is going to be slow and a "Chick Flick" kind of Broadway show.  I was very very very wrong.  This is one of the best shows I have seen on Broadway.  I cannot think of a better musical adaptation of a great book and movie.  It is just a great story line portrayed beautifully.

The cast is perfect.  The leads will all be nominated for Tonys and could all win.  Kelli O'Hara shines as the perfect lead for this show.  She grabs your heart throughout the show and creates a story that is believable and real and tears at your heart.  I can't say enough about her in this show.  What great direction.  Her character is done perfectly.

Steven Pasquale is exceptional as the accidental suitor. Another great performance, perfectly carried out.  Where has this guy been?  Another best actor candidate and potential winner. 

And, one of the Broadway greats, Hunter Foster, is perfect as the unknowing husband.  Just gruff enough to help you understand Kelli's dilemma, but enough of a good man that you understand how Kelli has to do what she does.  Best supporting Tony in my book.

Great casting for the rest of the folks as well.  This is a great show.

Just a word on the set.  The simple set is perfectly moved around to change scenes including a lovely Covered Bridge that just simply is there.  Great job keeping a continuous flow to the show.

Have not seen all of the candidates, but Bridges would get my vote for the best new musical.

Overall performances, music, cast and set all combine to make this a wonderful and enjoyable Broadway show.

This is a DO NOT MISS show.
