Dorothy Chandler Pavillion
135 North Grand Avenue Los Angeles, CA 90012

The scene is set: Florence, summer 1953. American Margaret Johnson (Renee Fleming) and her daughter Clara (Dove Cameron) take in the wonder and awe of Florence. A fateful gust of wind whisks Clara's hat into the hand of a local dreamer...and it's love at first sight. But Clara isn't quite what she appears, and soon they must all confront a secret kept in the shadows for far too long.



Renee Fleming and Dove Cameron star in Adam Guettel's enchanting Broadway musical, which won six Tony Awards, including Best Original Score and Best Orchestrations. Two-time Tony winner Brian Stokes Mitchell makes his LAO debut as the debonair Signor Naccarelli.

BWW Review: BWW Critic's Choices: Best in Maine 2019
by Carla Maria Verdino-Süllwold - Nov 26, 2019


As evidenced by the breadth of nominations for Broadway World's Annual Audience Choice Awards, Maine's theatrical landscape seems to grow and flourish with each new season. For a state as remote as we are, we boast two prestigious regional theatres now in their second half centuries a?" Maine State Music Theatre and Ogunquit Playhouse a?" which are leaders on the national regional scene and which have become destinations for travellers from far flung places. Add to these an array of countless other companies of every size and philosophic bent, and you have a colorful, rich artistic arena that grows more interesting each year. I am privileged to get to sample these performances as Broadway World's Maine editor and to be able to compare many of them favorably with shows I see across the country, in New York and London. These are my personal choices of the best in Maine for 2019, grouped by theatre company and show.
