"I think audiences and some of the critics would love it, even though it's probably not cynical enough for Ben Brantley," says Danieley. "For me, it was great not to play a little boy or a closeted homosexual"

1. The end of Act 1 during Will You when Young Edie is leaving as Christine is making her speech and when the character of Brooks comes in at the end of the show and you can see Christine wanting to tell him she's trying to leave and the heartbreak in her face and body. Basically from Another Winter till the end of the show I was a mess.
2. Just being able to sit front row and seeing everything Christine had to offer and watching tears roll do

I saw Curtains on Tuesday and I enjoyed myself so much. It is such a fun show, I couldn't stop smiling the entire night. I thought Debra Monk was fabulous as well. Her one liners were hysterical. I thought the dancing was great, Megan Sikora is incredible. I would definitley see this show again.

I saw the show this past Saturday and got to sit front row. It was one of the most incredible nights I have ever spent in a theatre. I cannot praise it enough. Christine Ebersole is amazing, stupendous, incredible. To be able to see everything up so close just cut right to my core. I can't wait to go back to NYC so I can see GG again.

Does anyone know how I could get in contact with Audra McDonald either the web or via snail mail? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

there is a Meteorologist here in metro-detroit who's name is Shay Ryan, I believe she is on channel 7, and she could be a dead ringer for Marin Mazzie. I have to do double takes every time I see her. Also a guest choreographer I just had in one of my classes looked slightly like a shorter Stephanie J. Block.

I had always liked Audra but I never got why she was so special until I saw her last year at the University of Michigan. She blew me away! If I hadn't spent my night seeing Donna McKechnie at Meadowbrook(for free I might add) I would have totally been at Audra's concert. Glad you got the opportunity to experience of seeing Audra live.
I met Donna McKechnie last night!!!! Sep 16

What a wonderfully nice lady! And of course talented too. She has so much energy and life on stage and just fills the room with her personality. It was a magical night in the theatre!

Love4Cheno-The leaves at the beginning was one of my favorite parts as well. It just to me set the tone of how realistic and simple and beautiful the whole show was going to be.

I love this show. I am so sad to see it go....truly one the most influential, inspirational, awe-inspiring, and amazing experiences I have had in the theatre. I can't explain how much this show has changed my life. Exceptional in every way. I will hold the memory of seeing this show in my heart forever....it is something i can never forget. Here's to The Light In The Piazza always shining brightly in the hearts and minds of everyone whom it has touched.
