I was tremendously impressed with the acting, staging, scenery, story and music of "The Light in the Piazza", a musical based on a late 1950s novella by Elizabeth Spencer that began as a story in The New Yorker magazine. Victoria Clark's performance, as the American mother revisiting Italy over the summer with her 20-something daughter, Clara (played by Katie Clarke) is excellent. It is a summer that transforms both of them.
Very highly recommended.
