Why The Bridges of Madison County will Make You Weep, Fall in Love, and Weep Again

by Ashley Taylor



It should be noted: I don't cry in public. I do not like crying at the theater, and since I seldom do, I'm never prepared for it. There is a moment in Bridges where I started crying early on in a song, and by the middle, I realized I just needed to let myself weep. There are rare moments when art and music combine in ways that fill your soul to the brim and the only release is through tears. That's what this show does.
