IT's playing in seattle and I don't know if I want to go see it...
I don't really know the story or the music, is it worth it to go see?

merci

Fear no more the heat o' the sun, Nor the furious winter's rages; Thou thy worldly task hast done, Home art gone and ta'en thy wages: Golden lads and girls all must, As chimney-sweepers, come to dust. ~Cymbeline

It's called "Light In The Piazza".

I love it.

Many people don't. I would say "Go. Hurry up. GO" I think its beautiful and sweeping and musically lush.

Oh, I get it. You're joking, EM. Very funny.

Cheyenne Jackson tickled me. AFTER ordering SoMMS a drink but NOT tickling him, and hanging out with Girly in his dressing room (where he DIDN'T tickle her) but BEFORE we got married. To others. And then he tweeted Boobs. He also tweeted he's good friends with some chick on "The Voice" who just happens to be good friends with Tink's ex. And I'm still married. Oh, and this just in: "Pettiness, spite, malice ....Such ugly emotions... So sad." - After Eight, talking about MEEEEEEEE!!! I'm so honored! :-)

I hope she's joking.

I caught part of it on PBS and loved it. The recording is on my list to buy, but haven't got around to it, yet.

It's one of my favorite shows. 4th on my list actually. People who don't like it usually say it's pretentious and too Italian, but the people I know who say that are just close-minded. It is Italian, and consists of this beautiful modern-classic music and the story is beautiful and everything about it makes my life completely happy.

I mean, Denzel Washington? Gun to my head..of course.

I first read the short story/novella in like the 7th grade, and fell in love, so fast foward a couple years later, I was SOO happy to find out about the musical. Plus it's the kind of music that you know will give you some impressive performers because only the truly vocally trained and gifted can handle it (except for the miscasting of Katie Clark..yikes).

And look, if RENT can stay on Broadway for so long, so should Light in the Piazza but...

It's on schedule to be released on dvd this summer. Go check one of the DVD release threads from B12B. He lists it somewhere.

Mine too!

I turn 21 on May 16, so seeing it will be such a birthday treat!

The times are listed in Eastern Standard, which confuses the hell out of me. I think it airs at 2 or 3 here in Vegas.

I just bought the recording and I adore it -- I would love to see it...and it's coming to Tempe in May...I'm so excited I hope I can afford it...
come to think of it...with extra graduation money I might be able to swing it...
