Director: Matthew Gardiner; Scenic Design: Lee Savage; Costume Design: Robert Perdziola; Lighting Design: Colin K Bills; Sound Design: Ryan Hickey

“Signature Theatre presents an exquisite revival of Stephen Sondheim and James Lapine’s ‘Passion’… Director Matthew Gardiner brings this most enigmatic and exotically romantic of Sondheim musicals back to Signature.” - Peter Marks, The Washington Post

“Every aspect of the show is beautifully realized, every character is finely delineated, and Sondheim’s rich, romantic score is played and sung to perfection. For any Sondheim fan, it’s a must; for anyone who has not seen Passion before, it can be a revelation.“- DC Metro Theatre Arts

“Signature's production celebrates the complexities of love with a production filled with a career-defining performance by leading lady Natascia and the type of mature, sleek, and sexy direction rarely seen in Washington. Matthew Gardiner, who once again has excelled as a director and interpreter of Sondheim, has given us a production that though filled with elements of macabre, never lets the musical lose its key message: that love, means many things to many people.” -BroadwayWorld
