The Light In The Piazza - SF 1st Preview

Posted: 8/1/06 at 3:57am

Just wanted to get a headstart on the post because I'm so freaking excited to be seeing the first preview of this much beloved show. I'll give a report below once I've seen this show. I can't wait! Hearing from a friend of mine in the show, Elena is stunning and amazing. We shall see what happens! Be back later!

I'm going too! Just a couple hours ago I snagged great seats for tomorrow's performance (it's AMAZING that at the preview performance all seats are $45) and I'm so excited!

awww I'm so jealous!! Can't wait to hear about the cast. Giving a big "Break a Leg" to the cast and crew! I wonder if Adam and Bartlett Sher will be there. I'm guessing.

"I wonder if Adam and Bartlett Sher will be there. I'm guessing."

Oh my God. I didn't even consider that possibility. Now I'm going to be extra on the lookout--if I see Adam Guettel, I may flip out.

Those pictures are great! Elena is gorgeous. I don't like David's glasses though. They must be new.

I think the glasses Would be fine, but they're a bit of a thick frame which really draws attention to them; just my thoughts.

Someone please report on what merch they are selling!! New shirts and posters MAYBE?!?!?

Also, someone who is bringing a digital camera PLEASE take pictures of the curtain call with no flash. I did it everytime I saw Piazza in New York and they always turned out great. I know everyone would LOVE to see!
