Review: THE BRIDGES OF MADISON COUNTY at Signature Theatre
by Shelby Tyler - Aug 17, 2023

What did our critic think of THE BRIDGES OF MADISON COUNTY at Signature Theatre? Andy Warhol once questioned, “I wonder if it’s possible to have a love affair that lasts forever.” The Bridges of Madison County answers this with its sweeping Jason Robert Brown score, following the extramarital affair between Francesca (Erin Davie), an Italian war bride, and Robert (Mark Evans), a lost National Geographic photographer. Based on the Robert James Waller novel, Bridges is set in 1960s rural Iowa as Francesa sees her husband, Bud (Cullen R. Titmas), and her two children off to go to the state fair for a few days. That’s when Robert Kincade rides up her driveway, lost and looking for directions. What follows is a four-day whirlwind that changes Francesa’s life forever.
