As a fitting end to its 20th Anniversary season, Lincoln Center Theater (under the direction of André Bishop, Artistic Director, and Bernard Gersten, Executive Producer) is delighted to announce that its critically acclaimed new musical, THE LIGHT IN THE PIAZZA, which was recently nominated for 11 Drama Desk Awards including Best Musical and 11 Outer Critics Circle Awards including Best Musical, will extend its run at the Vivian Beaumont Theater through Sunday, September 4.

With a book by Craig Lucas, music and lyrics by Adam Guettel and direction by Bartlett Sher, the musical, based on the novella by Elizabeth Spencer, is set in the summer of 1953 and tells the story of a mother and daughter traveling through Italy, the daughter's romance with a handsome, high-spirited Florentine, and the mother's determined efforts to keep the two apart. THE LIGHT IN THE PIAZZA, which was originally scheduled through June 12, began previews on Thursday, March 17, and opened on April 18.

The performance schedule for THE LIGHT IN THE PIAZZA is Tuesday through Saturday evenings at 8pm, with matinees Wednesday and Saturday at 2pm and Sundays at 3pm. Tickets, priced from $65 to $95, are available at the Lincoln Center Theater box office, by calling Tele-Charge at (212) 239-6200 or by visiting www.lct.org.
