Many of the emotions are communicated through the music and lyrics, rather than the acting. The heart of the story is the inward conflict of the mother, her mildly retarded daughter, and young Clara's courtship with the handsome Italian Fabrizio. The story line is based on the short novel by the same name, written by Elizabeth Spencer. For one thing, the book by Craig Lucas takes a secondary role to the magnificent music and lyrics by Adam Guettel. But beyond these similarities, The Light in the Piazza is a somewhat different kind of story, one that is more musical than verbal. Through July 26, 2008.Ĭlara and Fabrizio are a modern day Romeo and Juliet, and while the Johnson's and the Naccarelli's are not the Capulets and Montagues, you just know the odds are stacked against a happy ending.
