The story for this musical seems fairly ridiculous to me in 2011, but there's no denying how beautiful the music is and how fun so much of the show is acted!
and personally, i think Katie added so much to the character- even her voice makes it consistent. I think she does have the chops to sing the music well and properly- (you can hear her sometimes switch to her head voice when it becomes difficult to sing mixed).
i think it was just a character choice she made and a pretty effective one.
i just would have liked to hear her voice mature just as Clara did
Katie is good, but Kellie is fabulous. They both bring something new to Clara, which is refreshing. As for Fabrizio... I don't know who's better... Matthew Morrison or Aaron Lazar :) They're both gorgeous.
echoing some other comments: katie's voice is pretty shrill throughout this whole telecast. but honestly, this show isn't intended to be performed with microphones--the vocal lines are too soaring and complicated to be amplified; everyone sounds like they're screaming. there was an obc bootleg circulating around here some time ago, and it showcased the great acoustics of the lincoln center as much as it showcased the talented cast.
i do still think kelli o'hara is superior in this role, though.
@jasonqueue OMG! Do you know if it's still available to watch? As wonderful as this recording is (I thought Aaron & Katie did a fantastic job!) I'd love to see Kelli & Matthew in these roles that I could watch on video. I own the OBC and was really taken by their breath-taking performances.
I can see where many are coming from, that Katie is a very innocent, young voice, but I prefer Kelli, myself. Katie's a bit on the nasally side...a little too nasally for me. I would have REALLY loved to see her in Wicked, though.
saw this cast live at the lincoln center, absolutely amazing! i wish I could see it again, this pair makes morrison looks bad. amazing and so well done
Can people stop posting spoilers? I looked this up b/c I'd never seen the show before and I wanted to check out some of the songs first and now people have just ruined it. :/
She's supposed to have the mental capacity of a 12 year old and you'd be surprised what 12 year olds are capable of, there's a lot going on hormonally and emotionally regarding budding sexuality.
In all due respect mtdvr, she actually would. Hormones, and sexual urges have nothing to do with the brain, at least not in this respect. And I'm not just saying this, I know from experience, my mother works with mentally retarded teens, and always comments on how strange it is that they can be so impaired in academic or social respects, yet as they reach adolescence they still have the same sexual craving as any person would. The body would dictate these feelings rather than your brain.
shes a great actress, her voice isnt as great here but she really is a great actress. I saw her on the tour of wicked and her voice was actually wonderful.
I'm a different poster than the first, but I actually did graduate in the same year as Katie. She has always been a beautiful person, inside and out. I just found out yesterday that she had been involved in this and Wicked. It's really exciting, she's certainly one of those people I've always wanted to see succeed. Grats Katie! :)
Wow I am so shocked.. I just found out I got the part of Fabrizio and I am just shocked that I get to sing this amazing score and play this amazing character!
This musical is in a class by itself - I've never been so haunted by anything musically in my life. My favorite piece of this is @ 3:10, et seq. How does someone write this stuff?
I went to see it some time ago and i fell in LOVE with it. The words the communication shows everyone that love can be found anywhere in any form.
In this perticular scene though I loved! the way that when the mom entered the room it cut to black and intermission. It was the perfect dramatic tension for the perfect scene.
This is such a beautiful song. Kate Rose Clark really did improve for the tour, though. I saw her as Clara in Chicago, and this recording does not do her justice. I remember seeing it live and when the lights went down for the end of the act, my friend and I couldn't believe how powerful it was theatrically. This really is an underrated show that is phenomenal.
@pianostix yes .. the horse injury.... Clara is perpetually twelve. No wonder the Mother has to be on high alert. Until...:):):).. "Roy, it's a true thing".
I own the PBS showing of the broadway show, with the original margaret, and i just watched the monologue where she said "When Clara was ten..."
But... i did figure out that the script and possibly the recording say 12. So my bad.
But the original broadway mother QUITE clearly says ten on the national broadcast version so perhaps its a matter of choice or a matter of a really confident screw up.
@BenEdquist Actually in both the book and the movie it speciffically states that Clara was 10 when she had her accident, but it's possible Victoria Clark may have fumbled on her lines at one point.....
I've watched this show a thousand times and have to ask: does anyone else get a tad choked up for some reason when Katie delivers "then do... then say"? God, that girl can act the hell out of a scene! And when teamed with Aaron - watch out world!
Yes, she became Clara! That line is awesome the way she delivers it. I saw her twice in Chicago when the show was on one of its last touring stops. Unfortunately it wasn't with Aaron though! Somebody else played Fabrizio & wore geeky glasses almost like Jerry Lewis or something. Hot? Not!
Hahahaha! I don't know if that's a compliment though, but I get what you mean. I can't quite believe that Kelli has a mental handicap, when she's playing this role.
But still I have to say Kelli has got the singing for this role down pat. Katie's good, defo, but Kelli's voice suits this role better.
I like kelli as clara better, the first thing I thought when I heard this girls voice was she sounds 2 much like glinda then I realized it was katie but agreed these 2 have amazing chemistry.
I think this is one of the most powerfully moving songs/shows I have ever had the pleasure of listening to.
This duet is one of the barest, most open things I've ever heard. Two characters stripping down the meaning of everything to it's most BASE idea; losing words and their meaning as they just touch each other and sing "ah"
I love.. Adam Guettel. The whole show is the most beautiful metaphor and exploration of communication and love. OMG. lol. (having a fangirl musical theatre moment)
Ditto. Seeing this show was one of the most moving experiences of my life. I'm so glad to have the PBS broadcast as a record of it. It's absolutely exquisite.
This song is aboslutely amazing. It takes a lot for me to, without seeing anything else, randomly find myself grinning by the end. Showing emotion externally and all.
I agree. This is my personal favorite too. The music is so powerful...and the lyrics are so meaningful. I like Katie's acting better than Kelli. I think Kelli has a stronger voice...but Katie's is more youthful. I know that the musician who sits next to me in the orchestra pit in "Wicked" had a ball doing this show for a bit. Now he's back. I was over at Grey Gardens when he did this...anyhow...so jealous he did this show. Not that Grey Gardens wasn't as fun.
Aaron is amazing, as is his chemistry with Katie. Katie's acting is fabulous, the best of all the Claras I have seen, but I think Kelli has a bit more in the voice, though Katie's sounds much more child like and sweet.
I saw this show four times on Broadway with Victoria Clarke and both Kelli (saw her last performance..she was amazing) and Katie (LOVE HER), and twice in Sacramento when it was on tour. It is an amazing piece of art. This song is just so beautiful and such a tender unveiling of their love for one another. I get tears everytime...silly me I suppose, but I am just such a romantic and this song hits all my buttons. I wish PBS would release a DVD of this performance. I would wear it out.
I really hope the show comes back, too, it's incredible. I think that many people are frustrated by the fact that they can't understand all of what's being said. It's too bad that they don't get that this is the whole point.
Tonys notwithstanding, Piazza is such an underrated gem of a show and it's a shame it didn't run longer than the one year it was up at Lincoln Center. What a great quiet beautiful show.
This is my favorite part of the show. I personally like Katie better than Kelli. Katie's acting is unbelieveable!! This is the first time hearing Aaron as Fabrizzio but he's great!! I saw him in Les Miz and have loved him ever since!
thank you so much for posting this!! i love this musical!! i got to see katie and david burnham perform. wow they were just amazing! do you have the song, love to me perhaps?
Oh! The ending of act one is breath taking. When the mother walks in on her daughter! I love this play. I remember when I saw it two years ago, all my friends were talking in intermission of how act one ended. It was such a great play. I wish it could have been on Broadway forever!!!
do you have 'love to me' from the show? i have been looking for it everywhere and can't seem to find it. if you post it, that would be awesome. if not, then oh well.
yep, as i said in previous posts, i'm planning to post every musical number from the show. if i miss anything, u guys can just request it. i'm just kind of busy at the moment, but i promise i'll be posting it in the near future!
Beautiful,beautiful song and they both do it so well. They are clara and Fab. Beautifully written and so affecting. Makes you want to fall in love again...and again.

I saw this show four times on Broadway with Victoria Clarke and both Kelli (saw her last performance..she was amazing) and Katie (LOVE HER), and twice in Sacramento when it was on tour. It is an amazing piece of art. This song is just so beautiful and such a tender unveiling of their love for one another. I get tears everytime...silly me I suppose, but I am just such a romantic and this song hits all my buttons. I wish PBS would release a DVD of this performance. I would wear it out.

I really hope the show comes back, too, it's incredible. I think that many people are frustrated by the fact that they can't understand all of what's being said. It's too bad that they don't get that this is the whole point.

Tonys notwithstanding, Piazza is such an underrated gem of a show and it's a shame it didn't run longer than the one year it was up at Lincoln Center. What a great quiet beautiful show.

This is my favorite part of the show. I personally like Katie better than Kelli. Katie's acting is unbelieveable!! This is the first time hearing Aaron as Fabrizzio but he's great!! I saw him in Les Miz and have loved him ever since!

Although I really disagree, I do think that Katie is really good.
I just feel that Kelli had everything one could ask for in Clara: the look, the voice, the acting ability, the honesty etc.
THAT'S why she was nominated for a Tony Award.

Oh! The ending of act one is breath taking. When the mother walks in on her daughter! I love this play. I remember when I saw it two years ago, all my friends were talking in intermission of how act one ended. It was such a great play. I wish it could have been on Broadway forever!!!

I'm sure there'll be a revival in the future, just like the rest of all the great musicals.

Just do a search for all the "light in the piazza" clips; it's there. The video of that particular number is one of my favorites.

This is my favorite by far. Aaron and Clara play so well off each other, it is incredibly intense and emotional, the perfect end to the first act.
