The Light in the Piazza is my favorite show - full stop! I honeymooned in Florence, have been obsessed with every cast, every lyrics and every beat of music since first coming across the show! There’s a beautiful pro-shot, a great story and powerhouses like Kelli O’Hara, Dove Cameron and Solea Pfeiffer behind the role of Clara! However, it wasn’t until the brilliance of Ruthie Ann Miles and, then, newcomer, Anna Zavelson, that I got to see the show live! Show: The Light in the Piazza Songs: “Statues and Stories” & “The Light in the Piazza” & “Dividing Day” & “Say It Somehow” The Light in the Piazza is a musical with music and lyrics by Adam Guettel, and a book by Craig Lucas. Based on the 1960 novella by Elizabeth Spencer, the show is set in the 1950s and tells the story of Margaret Johnson, a wealthy woman from the American South, and Clara, her daughter, who is developmentally disabled due to a childhood accident. The two spend a summer together in Florence, Italy. When Clara falls in love with a young Italian man, Fabrizio, Margaret is forced to reconsider not only Clara's future, but her own deep-seated hopes and regrets as well. A semi-staged Encores! production ran at New York City Center from June 21–25, 2023. It starred Ruthie Ann Miles as Margaret, Shereen Ahmed as Franca, Andréa Burns as Signora Naccarelli, Rodd Cyrus as Giuseppe, James D. Gish as Fabrizio, Ivan Hernandez as Signor Naccarelli and Anna Zavelson as Clara. Directed by Chay Yew, it "reexamined the musical ... from an Asian American perspective. The ensemble was comprised of Nick Alvino, Daniel Assetta, Jhailyn Farcon, Alex Humphreys, Mary Illes, Jolina Javier, Andrea Jones-Sojola, Matt Leisy, Katerina McCrimmon, Eliseo Roman, Vishal Vaidya, Kathy Voytko, and J.D. Webster. Enjoy! What are your favorite Broadway memories of The Light in the Piazza?! #thelightinthepiazza #thelightinthepiazzabroadwaymemories #newyorkcitycenterencores #favoritemusical #broadwaymemories

This appeared on my feed today. I can’t believe it’s been about three years since I was given this wondrous gift - Adam Guettel and Craig Lucas’ THE LIGHT IN THE PIAZZA, with this incredible company of artists, collaborating passionately for ten furious days at New York City Center’s Encores! Our luminous cast included Ruthie Ann Miles, Anna Zavelson, Shereen Ahmed, Andrea Burns, Rodd Cyrus, James D. Gish, Michael Hayden, and Ivan Fischer-Hernandez, with an equally amazing ensemble that comprised Nick Alvino, Daniel Assetta, Jhailyn Farcon, Alex Humphreys, Mary Illes, Jolina Javier, Andrea Jones-Sojola, Matt Leisy, Katerina McCrimmon, Eliseo Roman, Vishal Vaidya, Kathy Voytko, and J.D. Webster. The Encores! production featured music direction by Rob Berman, choreography by Parker Esse, scenic design by Clint Ramos and Miguel Urbino, lighting design by David Weiner, costume design by Linda Cho, sound design by Megumi Katayama, and hair and wig design by Charles G. LaPointe. Kimberlee Wertz was music coordinator, and Cynthia Cahill was production stage manager. Thank you, Adam Guettel and Craig Lucas for trusting me with your masterpiece. And thanks to @clintramos, Lear DeBrnssonet, @jennygersten and @mrmikerosenberg for inviting us to the Encores! party. Missing all of you. 🧡

2025.06.24 LES MISÉRABLES THE STAGED CONCERT WORLD TOUR 悲慘世界40周年紀念版音樂會 第9排真的很近他們的⼩動作 臉部表情 衣服摩擦 ⼝⽔ 腳步聲都很明顯 但今天的麥克風蠻靈敏 ⼤家噴麥狀況有點嚴重 barricade重創後有⼀段笛solo 換氣聲也很清楚 took my fly今天唱的太好了 上⼀場也好 但這⼀場更是 跟Bishop of Digne道別後Jean Valjean唱Valjean’s Soliloquy 剛開始還想說為什麼有奇怪的東⻄落下 原以為是衣服的飾品類脫落 結果往上看⼤螢幕確認⼀下 不會是我想的那個吧 果真哈哈哈哈 後⾯隨著⾳樂變得激昂 變成噴霧機了🤣🤣 這個Fantine有點讓我⼩可惜 I Dreamed a Dream最後⼀個shame⾳沒轉好破⾳了 還好後⾯有撐回來 但後⾯她調改很多 跟上⼀場的Fantine不⼀樣 跟以往也不⼀樣 變得很現代美聲 今天的Javert唱的比較兇 The Confrontation跟上禮拜比 第⼆段比較聽得到Javert的聲⾳了 但還是蓋掉的比較多 第⼀段主旋律是Javert第⼆段是Jean Valjean) 最後兩個⼈⼀起變⼝⽔噴霧 後來發現 那些⼝⽔有些是故意的 有些是真的唱的太激動 Javert最後是故意吐了⼀⼝⼝⽔噴霧 不過怎麼可以吐的怎麼噴霧狀啊哈哈哈哈哈哈 酒館夫婦真的很會帶氣氛 他們唱完Master of the house後觀眾拍⼿拍得很激烈 酒館主⼈還⽰意我們歡呼⼤聲點 覺得不夠⼜再⼀次已經比禮拜六⼤聲了哈哈哈哈但下⼀段是Jean Valjean要把little Cosette帶走 氣氛突然沈重 Javert唱完stars後蹲下 光從他背後往前打 上往下掃觀眾席 超刺眼 眼睛睜不開啦哈哈哈哈 但這是樓上體驗不到的～ Éponine提醒Jean Valjean⼀家的尖叫聲雖然知道是現場真叫 但還是覺得不可思議 尤其今天的距離是真的除了麥克風出來的聲⾳外 也聽得到正常的尖叫 她這樣要叫幾場啊 不會後⾯叫不出來嗎 好厲害 ABC boys中 這個Grantaire演的比哈老師喝的還醉哈哈哈哈肢體很豐富 拉⾺克死掉那⼀段 每個Enjolras理解跟詮釋的都不⼀樣 我最喜歡⽽且最認同的是會笑甚⾄是笑出聲的Enjolras 因為拉⾺克的死代表他們蓄謀已久的⾰命終於能⾏動了 ⾰命即將開始 並且熱⾎的認為他們可以戰勝 但這個Enjolras沒有笑 從以前到現在⼀直不理解Éponine為什麼會喜歡Marius ⽽不是Enjolras 要是我我⼀定選Enjolras…的臉（沒辦法嘛～要怪就要怪為什麼⼤E的選⾓ 常常都是帥哥哈哈哈哈哈） 今天⼀邊看⼀邊思考 終於找出答案 原著Éponine的個性以及家庭背景造成她⼤辣辣直來直往卻⼜缺愛 ⽽Enjolras的個性也是屬於果斷剛硬的 ⾝為⾰命領袖比起愛情⽽是把國家未來當⾸位 兩個都硬 硬碰硬肯定不⾏ ⽽Marius雖然戀愛腦 但溫柔⼜多情 …可是Cosette為什麼會喜歡Marius 我還在想哈哈哈哈哈 我還在找說服我的理由 總不能說因為最後剩下的只有他吧… A Heart Full of Love原來最後Cosette跟Marius真親 看清楚了 One Day More中的經典陣步Cross-Pattern Blocking終於看出來了 好感動 那天在四樓的時候就很努⼒在看 但從⾼處的視⾓真的看不出效果 今天終於親眼看到了 再加上最後的 ⿑唱 全⾝雞⽪疙瘩 Javert混入barricade後的第⼀聲槍響把我嚇⼀跳 明明看過無數遍 知道什麼東⻄什麼時候會出現 但還是會被那聲光效果嚇⼀跳 Gavroche識破Javert混入 唱著Little People最後的歌詞是It only goes to show what little people can do 我⼀直以為是單純指Javert 結果這次看清楚了居然是🖕 Éponine中彈後唱著A Little Fall of Rain Marius抱住她是左⼿本來就放在Éponine的 裡⾯嗎 還是在Éponine衣服翻開的瞬間 Marius剛好⼿過來 將錯就錯哈哈哈哈 反正不管在理在外都符合Marius要幫Éponine⽌⾎ 但有⼀點我⼀直很疑惑 為什麼Éponine 死後Marius需要向Enjolras⼜或是barricade的⼈說明她的⾝分 Marius不是原本就⽣活在barricade的⼈ 但Enjolras跟Éponine從⼩就都住在這裡 甚⾄Gavroche還是Éponine的弟弟 （雖然⾳樂劇上沒說） 所以應該是⼤家都認識的啊 還是說因為那天的她設定上是扮男裝 所以其他⼈在不知道的情況下沒認出來？ drink with me的時候⼜泛淚了 Grantaire明明就對政治漠不關⼼､憤世嫉俗 對情勢看得很清楚 卻⼜願意陪著Enjolras⼀同奮戰最後抱著死去的Gavroche ⾃⼰也中彈 在第⼀波戰況暫時休戰後 Jean Valjean唱Bring Him Home 最後幾句if i ‘die’ let me die 破⾳

2025.06.14 LES MISÉRABLES THE STAGED CONCERT WORLD TOUR 悲慘世界40周年紀念版音樂會 其實在⼀開始 覺得這次選⾓跟25週年有點像 不是長相 ⽽是⾳域跟聲⾳給我的感覺 ⾝為⼀個刷了幾乎所有能看到的影片 並且聽過上百遍歌 近百遍⾳樂劇的⼈ 有被嚇⼀跳 以下是超不專業的⼈物⼼得 第⼀幕Javert 剛出場⼀開⼝ 我就有點擔⼼The Confrontation他的聲⾳會被Jean Valjean壓過去 因為這場的Jean Valjean⼀聽就被驚艷到 不過也不意外 畢竟是主⾓哈哈哈 查了⼀下跟我想的⼀樣擅長high baritone 跟dramatic baritone 但也正是因為這樣 才會擔⼼Javert會吵輸 畢竟整⾸歌除了ABC café最愛的就這裡 ⽬前沒查到這個Javert的⾳域在哪 但我覺得應該也是在high baritone左右延伸 看他之前的經歷 演了10年的悲慘世界分別是8次的Javert跟4次的Enjolras 但過去的選⾓Javert主要是以Baritone / Bass-Baritone為主 Enjolras是Tenor / High Baritone 所以比起Jean Valjean的⾳域 他為了符合⾓⾊⾳量和共鳴 導致有⼀⼩段他的聲⾳幾乎被蓋過去但我覺得按照他的經歷跟週年巡 不太可能會出現這種狀況 不排除是⾳響設備或是個⼈狀況（沒關係 24號再看⼀次確認）他獨唱的部分完全沒問題 也符合Baritone 我覺得稍微的⼩可惜只有The Confrontation Fantine聲⾳剛開始覺得有點太幼⿒ 不是很習慣 長期聽的版本不管是10週年還是25週年 Fantine的聲⾳都比較成熟⼀些 但仔細想想⼈物跟年代設定 Fantine年紀應該也就20-25左右 反⽽這個比較貼合原著 在Fantine’s Death Fantine把Cosette託付給Jean Valjean那裡 嗚嗚嗚嗚嗚眼淚在眼眶打轉 這個Bishop of Digne氣很短 但只聽⼀場不知道這是他的風格 還是什麼原因 不過跟指揮下的拍⼦中間都會有時間差24號Fect check! (聽了第⼆遍 應該是演員的習慣 尾⾳收很快很乾淨)) 然後這場的Éponine我覺得她唱的非常好完全不會輸Samantha Barks 超喜歡25週年Éponine) Cosette聲⾳聽起來很年輕 有點遙遠我看不到五官🥲 然後Marius 唱法也是偏現代 但我覺得其實很符合⼈物設定 圖有熱情天真浪漫的貴公⼦（完蛋腦袋裡只有迪⼠尼 彈幕害⼈不淺） Enjolras有些地⽅真的很ramin！！！好愛 但他尾⾳收的很乾淨 ⾼⾳偏向保守風 聲部Bari-Tenor､Baritone､Tenor 然後Vocal Style - Belt､Legit是不是就知道為什麼我說像（ramin變⼀種形容詞 超好笑 但他後來就沒有演Enjolras了😢啊不過現在也不適合 齁什麼時候回去演Jean Valjean🥹🥹) 這次的⼩演員都很不錯 Little Cosette好像有點⼩感冒 有點卡痰還咳嗽 但剛好是在被Madame Thénardier叫去井⼝打⽔那裡很符合劇情 Gavroche完全就是⼩Enjolras 情緒超到位 這個Gavroche可以不要長⼤嗎 喂 ABC boys有⼀個⼈現場改詞 但應該沒什麼⼈發現 不影響劇情 意思也沒差多少 導致我只記得他唱錯 唱了什麼沒特別印象 因為劇情已經滾瓜爛熟了 好像沒什麼可說的@@印象最深的就這兩段吧 沒想到下⽔道Jean Valjean把Marius救起來那邊 是真扛⼈ 遇到Javert後要帶走Marius還是公主抱邊跑 印象中之前的紀念版本好像沒有真扛⼈對吧超驚喜 還有還有 Marius跟Cosette的婚禮他們跑去找Jean Valjean後 換Thénardier夫婦唱著Beggars at the Feast 後⾯的⼈婦女加上barricade死掉的那批 反正就是舞台階梯上的所有⼈⼀起左右擺動 點頭 聳肩 拍⼿ 跟左右兩邊交叉拍⼿ 轉⽅向盤式 反正花樣超多 超可愛 真的超可愛 啊啊啊啊啊為什麼沒有官攝啦
