YouTube Links & Playlists
Links:
- Passion (Full video of the 1994 Broadway production with the original cast, later released on DVD)
- Passione d'Amore (complete 1981 film by Ettore Scola, that served as the immediate source of Lapine's libretto)
- Passion (1994 Original Broadway Cast Recording)--The recording is the correct one, but the cover image is not the album cover.
- There is no Class 6 video playlist because all but one of the clips used in class were from the full 1994 Broadway performance or Scola's film listed above. The one not in either of those videos was Michael Ball's performance of "Loving You."
