“Bridges” is based on the best-selling novel by Robert James Waller and is the story of Iowa housewife Francesca Johnson and her life-changing, four-day whirlwind romance with traveling photographer Robert Kincaid. The lead roles were played by Meryl Streep and Clint Eastwood in the film version. The Broadway musical version features music by Tony Award®-winning composer Jason Robert Brown (Parade, The Last Five Years) that draws upon the rich textures of Americana and folk and the sweeping, expressive balladry of classic Broadway. The Daily News hails it as “one of Broadway’s best scores in the last decade.” “My last musical in Manila was ‘Sound of Music’ 3 years ago, so I'm hungry for a new challenge and this role of Francesca will certainly demand the creativity that I'm always craving for as an artist,” says Joanna. “I also look forward to sharing the stage with Mig Ayesa. But, the thing that appealed to me the most was the idea of working for Atlantis for the first time and being directed by Bobby Garcia.”
“The Bridges of Madison County” opens on November 20, 2015 at the Carlos P. Romulo Auditorium, RCBC Plaza, Makati. Select shows are now available for Show Buying and fundraising opportunities.
