The Light in the Piazza
I got to see The Light in the Piazza again at the Orange County Performing Arts Center. I definitely recommend seeing it if you can manage to catch it before the tour ends. The Light in the Piazza tour site has information on the remaining citites. I'm sure it'll tour again in a few years, if you miss this one, though, but then you'll probably miss David Burnham as Fabrizio and you want to catch him if you can, he's amazing. The rest of the cast is wonderful, but he really stood out.
Before the show, the lady next to me explained that her friends had told her not to bother seeing The Light in the Piazza. I told her I'd seen it a week and a half ago and had come back to see it (with a slightly better seat than my normal seat - I got lucky
), since I enjoyed it so much. The music is beautiful and it's romantic. I explained that perhaps her friends, like my husband, were put off by the Italian. After the first act, she said that she thought there was too much Italian, but the music was beautiful. By the end of the show, she told me she understood why I had come back to see the show again. 
She also asked, since I'd mentioned David Burnham's CD earlier, if she should really get his CD, and I said definitely. She was surprised that she hadn't seen him in anything before, but I mentioned that I'm sure we'll see him a lot in the future. It's clear that with his voice, personality, and look he can accomplish almost anything he wants to in music and theatre.It was great to see the show again. I fully enjoyed seeing it again.
My migraine isn't in full swing yet, and I'm happy about that, but I am flushed and worried that it might be coming. Here's hoping I get lucky today. Perhaps if I manage to cool myself down early enough with ice packs I can keep it at bay...
Happy Mother's Day to all you mothers out there...
