Love if you can and be loved...
A winner of no less than six Tony Awards, this is the European premiere of a romantic musical with a dark secret at its heart. Beautifully evoking the passion and glamour of 1950s’ Florence, The Light in the Piazza tells the tale of Clara, a young woman who is visiting Europe with her mother and how she meets and falls in love with the handsome Fabrizio. We’ll leave you to discover if love conquers all!
A must for all those who enjoy musicals. Paul Kerryson’s musical productions include, On YourToes, Singin’ in the Rain, Stephen Sondheim’s A Little Night Music and Pacific Overtures.’
