Photo Flash: First Look at Mad Cow Theatre's THE LIGHT IN THE PIAZZA

Mad Cow Theatre will present Tony Award winning The Light in the Piazza in The Harriet Theatre, now through January 5, 2014. BroadwayWorld has a first look at the cast in action below!

Set in Florence and Rome in 1953, The Light in the Piazza is the story of a young American tourist traveling with her mother who meets and falls for a young Italian. The mother opposes the affair for reasons that only gradually become apparent as the musical unfolds. Winner of the 2005 Tony Award for Best Original Score, music and lyrics are by Adam Guettel, the grandson ofRichard Rodgers. The intricately classic score is the perfect complement to an Italian love story and is sure to be audience favorite. Based on a novella by ElizaBeth Spencer, The Light in the Piazza won six Tony Awards in 2005 and is perhaps the most celebrated score of the past decade.
