Witness Elizabeth Spencer’s famous novel come to life with the exquisite direction of Tony Award-winner Daniel Evans at the West End. Enjoy being transported back to 1950s Italy with incredible music and sets.
- The winner of 6 prestigious Tony Awards, Light in the Piazza is one of the most well-known shows to be showcased at the West End. Rather than featuring the same old pop-infused score that is typical of most modern musicals, an unusually dramatic and beautiful classical score awaits the audience. The plot is from a 1960s novel by Elizabeth Spencer but is set in the 1950s, in the charming city of Florence. - Directed by multiple Olivier and Tony Award-winner Daniel Evans, you are all set to be transported to one of the most delightful eras of Italy. The lead roles are played by West End debutants Renee Fleming, a Tony Award-nominee for her role in Carousel, and Dove Cameron of Disney Channel fame. With a talented 40-member orchestra live on-stage, The Light In The Piazza promises to be an unforgettable theatre experience for drama and music lovers alike. - The Story- Mother and daughter Margaret and Clara are in Florence for a vacation. Margaret is quite protective of her young daughter, owing to the fact that Clara was kicked in the head by a pony at the age of 12. As a result, her social and psychological development is slightly hampered. Clara, however, is absolutely nonchalant about this and refuses to let anything keep her down. As fate would have it, a gust of wind blows Clara’s hat into the hands of the spirited and handsome Fabrizio Naccarelli, and it's love at first sight for the couple. - Although Margaret is quite dissuasive of the match, the Naccarelli family immediately take a liking to Clara. Everyone, from Fabrizio's fiery sister-in-law to his big-hearted father and affable mother, approves of their relationship. Watch how this story of love and acceptance blooms into a brilliant conclusion! - Good for- Lovers of Orchestral Music | Romantic Drama Enthusiasts - Critics Reviews- “Modern, old-fashioned romantic musical that uses its head as well as its heart.”
