The Light in the Piazza

Few Broadway musicals have ever inspired the admiration of critics and audiences as thoroughly as this sublime romantic story set in Italy. The Light in the Piazza, featuring music by Adam Guettel and a book by Craig Lucas, is set in the 1950s, where a youthful Italian lad is doted on by his Tuscan family. His passions are deeply stirred by a beautiful American tourist, accompanied by her protective mother. When it turns out there are more significant barriers than language to the match, the American mother and Italian family must put aside cherished beliefs if their beloved children can seek happiness together.
