For anyone attending tonight's performance of The Light in the Piazza, could you please post your review of Katie Clarke's "debut" broadway performance. Thanks!

I saw it on her first night. (Friday, December 9th)

I've seen this show before with both Kelli O'Hara and then Jennifer Hughes.


Personally, I don't think that Katie has had enough time to gain the proper experience, vocal and acting technique to do this role. All of the operatic interludes were belted, and I felt that her style of singing was different than what I had expected. Also, her interpretation wasn't really what I had looked for--it certainly was different than Kelli's.



It really isn't Katie Clarke's fault though. It's the directors' fault. They should have chosen someone that could follow up a performance by Kelli O'Hara.

P.S. I'm sorry about the ridiculously thorough review I gave before. It really was too harsh. Updated On: 12/16/05 at 09:52 PM

You got turned down for the part of Clara, didn't you? Or at least know someone who did. That is a pretty harsh review for someone who just joined the site today.

And for the record, its "cast" not "casted".

I've heard nothing but good things about her, especially her great voice. I hope she continues to get positive feedback from her audiences.

Katie's voice is different than Kelli's. She has more of a contemporary belt/mix sound but the notes are all VERY much there and gorgeous to boot.

I'm still curious as to how she landed an audition with them? how did all that work? how did ppl in NYC hear about this chick from Texas? i'm so curious to know. I hope they interview her.
