Story
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.
