"There’s so much chemistry and heat, you expect the stage to catch fire.”

, NY1

Academy Award® winner Marisa Tomei unleashed a tour de force as a widow who rekindles her desire for love, lust and life in the arms of a smoldering suitor. Erupting from the depths of despair to the heights of passion, Tomei was "an exquisite, transfixing joy” (Daily Beast) in this “paean to the power of sexual attraction” (The New York Times).

Score

In truth, the integration of the underscore, sound design, transition music and more heightened metaphoric music required a dilution of the traditional style of playing, which has a strong sense of period and cultural style, into something more fluid, flowing, harmonically ambiguous and textural, something much more classical in flow and feel.”

— Fitz Patton on the music as told to Playbill.com

Costumes

Ultimately, The Rose Tattoo is about humanity, acceptance, and love—and the lengths we go to to deny ourselves those. It is about the theatre of appearance and what we look like when we unmask ourselves.”

— Clint Ramos, Costume Design

“MARISA TOMEI'S EXCEPTIONALLY PHYSICAL PERFORMANCE IS SO FINE-TUNED IN ITS EXPRESSIVENESS THAT IT VERGES ON DANCE.”

, The New Yorker

“The passion runneth over.”
