The Bridges of Madison County

Based on the best-selling novel, The Bridges of Madison County is a tale of a forbidden love affair between a photographer and a housewife that changes them forever.

Music and lyrics by Jason Robert Brown and book by Marsha Norman. Based on the novel by Robert James Waller.

Directed by Colin Armstrong and Musical Direction by Sue Fletcher.

Francesca Johnson, an Italian woman who married an American soldier to flee war-ravaged Italy, looks forward to a rare four days alone on her Iowa farm when her family heads to the 1965 State Fair. When National Geographic photographer, Robert Kincaid, pulls into her driveway seeking directions, though, what happens in those four days may very well alter the course of Francesca's life.

The Bridges of Madison County will run from 9 - 24 August 2024.

Please note, The Bridges of Madison County contains adult themes.

Everybody NEEDS to come and see this show!! A total triumph of a Victorian premier! Sending a huge congratulations to the entire team of cast and creatives who have brought this gorgeous story to life. You created utter magic on that stage!

It is truly captivating and the music and singing is beautiful with amazing voices, heartfelt lyrics and some very comical moments too. You will laugh and you will cry and you will relate to something or someone in almost every scene.
