The Light in the Piazza, based on the novella by Elizabeth
Spencer, is set in the summer of 1953 and tells the story
of a mother and daughter traveling through Italy, the daughter's
romance with a handsome, high-spirited Florentine and the
mother's determined efforts to keep the two apart.
Sweeping the Tony Awards for scenic, costume and lighting
design, Piazza features a Tony-nominated book by playwright
Craig Lucas (Reckless), a Tony-winning score by celebrated
composer Adam Guettel (Floyd Collins), and has become one
of the most critically-acclaimed theatrical events of the
season.
