Aprašymas
The Light in the Piazza beautifully captures the eternal allure of Italy. . . . The story wraps itself around your heart.
Chicago Sun-TimesGuettel s music and lyrics take nothing from the razzle-dazzle bargain basement of feeling; they represent, instead, a genuine expense of spirit. . . .
The Light in the Piazza doesn t want to make theatre-goers feel good; it wants to make them feel deeply.
The New YorkerWith Adam Guettel s gorgeous melodies, a compelling narrative hook from Craig Lucas, and moving themes about happiness and risk, there s no question that
The Light in the Piazza is Broadway worthy.
Daily VarietyComposer Adam Guettel, best known for his
Floyd Collins, has teamed with
Prelude to a Kiss playwright Craig Lucas to create a passionate and soaring new musical based on Elizabeth Spencer s 1960 novella, which was first published as an entire issue of
The New Yorker. It is the story of an American ingenue abroad, whose chance meeting of a charming young Italian in a Florentine piazza sets off a whirlwind romance with an unsettling revelation.
The Light in the Piazza opens on Broadway at the Lincoln Center Theater this spring after major productions already in Seattle and Chicago.
Adam Guettel wrote music and lyrics for
Floyd Collins, produced across the country and in London. His other works include
Love s Fire, a collaboration with John Guare, and
Saturn Returns, a concert at The Public Theater/New York Shakespeare Festival that was recorded by Nonesuch Records under the title
Myths and Hymns.
Craig Lucas won this year s Obie Award for Best American Play for
Small Tragedy and the New York Film Critics Award for Best Screenplay for
The Secret Lives of Dentists. His other plays include
Reckless,
Blue Window,
Prelude to a Kiss,
God s Heart,
The Dying Gaul,
Missing Persons,
Stranger, and
Singing Forest.
