Since we've done song, moment, Kelli Costume, Matt Costume, set piece and now Florentine Painting projection, I thought I'd kickstart the obvious next thread:

What is your VERY favorite concession item sold at Light in the Piazza? I vote TWIZZLERS!

I only like black Twizzlers. The strawberry ones are ming.

I like that big bucket of popcorn you can take in and munch during the show. Plus, you can toss a handful at Franca when she acts bitchy!

I liked the offical "Light in the Piazza" cocktail, it was marvey! For those of you 21 and over! haha

The two for $15 martinis in my special formula:

2 parts raspberry vodka (preferably Stoly)
1 part Chambord
lots of fresh sqeezed lime juice
seltzer

I only had them once there; they were very strong.

Do you prefer Stoli Raspberry? I am a big big big fan of Absolut Raspberry.

Ooh -- that almost sounds like a bruised heart, one of my favorites (equal parts vodka, Chambord, peach Schnapps and cranberry juice).

Is it natural raspberry? I only like the natural raspberry flavor.

I tried it with regular Smirnoff and it was so junk it gave me a headache.

OOh a hope you ain't a mean drunk! A couple of those at intermission could lead to a Fight in the Piazza~

I'll have you know I am a very silly drunk. And by two drinks a very sleepy one at that. (Except with Asti Spumante. Somehow that keeps me up and giddy. Must be the high sugar content.)

When I make those martinis at home I leave out the seltzer, pour them over crushed ice, and top it with raspberries.

I like the cute plastic martini glasses you can take home with you from Piazza.

I'm an energetic drunk. I go a bit mental when drunk (but in a lovable way, I'm like the most anti-violence person ever).

As for Absolut Raspberry, I don't know what flavour it is. It's a better vodka than Stoli so I assume it's natural. It tastes remarkably natural and what's more, it's not sweet or sickly. It's raspberry flavoured but not all sugary. This is a good thing, I don't want my drinks to taste like syrup.

I'm a very nice drunk.
Sometimes too nice.

I only like black Twizzlers, too.

I have found this great natural licorice at Whole Foods called Running Rabbit.

They make it in black cherry, too.

Yes, Twizzlers are at the poor end of the licorice scale. I enjoy all types of licorice. I LOVE Whole Foods. I must see if I can get my hands on some Running Rabbit.

Thanks for your advice.

It's so cute, it's in the shape of little rabbits.

They should sell it at Piazza; it'd be a big hit.

Do any snacks come with wires attached? I'd like a slice of Piazza pizza that magically floats out of my hand.

I bought Raisinettes when I went to see the show. Do they count?

Were you at Broadway Barks yesterday??
If so, were you leaning up against a black post infront of table nine or sixteen.?

Threadjacked! Cats rule, dogs drool!

Piazza should allow cats in the audience and offer those little salmon crunchy kitty snacks in the consessions.

I wonder how much their tickets would be? Maybe free if they can sit on your lap.

They'd love to discover that Clara's skin is like milk.

I got a great cocktail when I when there. Very fruity. The bartender was hot too.

And today I tried the Running Rabbit black licorice--
best I ever had!

They should sell these fun bunnies at Piazza!

Any other pasta besides Piazza Pizza?

The night we saw the show, Connie Stevens was there, downing twizzlers and jujubees before the show (and she had to be asked to stop using her cell phone!)...

I started this thread as a joke, reacting to all the goofy "Light in the Piazza" threads-- I was stunned to see it back on the main board today! I guess that's what I love about this place-- you never know what will strike a chord.

Personally, I love the Pasta Piazza-- it's just macaroni, served plain with no toppings, but the waiters all hover over you as you eat telling you it's the greatest meal you've ever eaten.
