Playbill Vault: Marin Mazzie Shares Her Passion For Sondheim
Currently starring Off-Broadway in the revival of Carrie, Marin
Mazzie took the time to speak to Playbill about originating the role of
Clara in the 1994 original Broadway production of Passion. Set in
19th century Italy, the Stephen Sondheim and James Lapine musical tells the
story of Giorgio (Jere Shea), a soldier who becomes increasingly obsessed
with his colonel's chronically ill cousin Fosca (Donna Murphy), much to the
chagrin (communicated through a series of letters) of his married lover,
Clara. Mazzie received a Tony nomination for Best Featured Actress in a
Musical and the show captured four Tony Awards including Best Musical and
Best Original Score. To see the contents of the show's Playbill click here.
