The Broadway production of this award-winning musical ran at Lincoln Center's Vivian Beaumont Theater in 2005 - 2006, garnering six Tony Awards, including Best Original Score. Set in the 1950s, while touring the Tuscan countryside, American tourists Margaret and her daughter Clara encounter cultural differences, romance, secrets, hopes, and regrets that change their lives.
