Based on a book by Elizabeth Spencer with the score by Adam Guettel, The Light in the Piazza opened on Broadway in 2005 and won six Tony Awards that year. The story takes place in Italy in the summer of 1953. Margaret Johnson, the wife of a well–heeled American businessman, is touring the Tuscan countryside with her daughter, Clara. While sightseeing, Clara, a beautiful, surprisingly childish young woman, loses her hat in a sudden gust. As if guided by an unseen hand, the hat lands at the feet of Fabrizio Naccarelli, a handsome Florentine, who returns it to Clara. This brief episode, charged with coincidence and fate, sparks an immediate romance between Clara and Fabrizio. This is one of the best musicals of the decade and is not to be missed.
This event is being presented by the Alma Education and Arts Foundation.
