THROUGH JUNE 15: THE LIGHT IN THE PIAZZA

“Questa è una magnifica e squisitamente bella storia d’amore innocente.” This is a magnificent and exquisitely beautiful tale of innocent love…that is set in Florence Italy in June of 1053. Accompanied by a live orchestra, the stunning, Tony Award-winning score is sung by a spectacular cast of pitch perfect vocalists who are also stellar actors. Song after song received thunderous applause as the audience was sweept off their emotional feet, lifting them so joyously high with this beguiling and at times, passionatley poignant story. The Award-winning Huntington Theatre located at 264 Huntington Ave, in Boston brings to its stage this winner of 6 Tony Awards including the one for Best Original Score by Adam Guettel. The Chicago Tribune stated, “The most soul-satisfying score written for Broadway so far this century.” The Play Book is by Craig Lucas who based the story on the exquisitely poignant novel by Elizabeth Spencer.

L to R: Sarah-Anne Martinez (Clara) and Emily Skinner Margaret: photo by Julieta Cervantes Directed by the Huntington’s Norma Jean Calderwood Artistic Director, Loretta Greco (Prayer for the French Republic), the production surrounds a wealthy American woman, Margaret Johnson, played by Emily Skinner* (Drama Desk nominee, Tony nominee, Drama League Award-winner, and Two time Outer Critics Circle Nominee). She has come on a holiday in Italy .with her beautiful daughter, Clara, played by Sarah-Anne Martinez* (Helen Hayes Nominee);NYMF –Outstanding Performer in a Leading Role Award; & Festival 56)). Sadly, Clara is actually developmentally challenged after she was kicked in the head by a pony when she was just ten years old. Although she is now 26, she literally is a child within the body of a stunning young woman. During their trip, Clara falls in love with a charming and very handsome young Italian, Fabrizio Naccarelli. He is performed by Joshua Grosso*, a relative newcomer whose performance heralds great things in the fuutre career of this outstanding young performer.(Urintetown; NYCC Encores, Regional: In The Heights(PCLO), Gatsby (ART), Tours: Les Misérables, The Band’s Visit). It is love at first sight, and the obsessed Fabrizio seems to manage to be everywhere that Clara is while she tours Florence with her mother. As their romance continues to grow, Margaret struggles over the challenges Clara may encounter with Fabrizio once her realizes her daughters issues. She has frequently experienced young men in America who repeatedly were quickly horrified by Clara’s condition and ultimately treated her cruelly. When Fabrizio asks Clara to marry him, totally encouraged by his family, Margaret quickly takes Clara to Rome, assuming that will break the couple apart. But Clara becomes devastatingly unhappy. Back in Florence, Fabrizio is inconsolable, wishing to die.

L to R: Joshua Grosso (Fabrizio) and Sarah-Anne Martinez (Clara): photo by Julieta Cervantes. So, Margaret figuratively crosses her fingers, returns to Florence and continues to support her daughter and Fabrizio’s relationship. Fabrizio’s family is charmed by Clara’s naivety so they encourage them to wed. This is not without complexities. Clara has to convert to Catholicism. She thus, must study and pass approval of the priest, played by Morgan Mastrangelo (Regional: Eurydice (Opera Grand Rapids)). All is set for the wedding until the day before when the couples were filling out the required government forms necessary to marry. Senior Naccarelli, Fabrizio’s father, played by William Michals* discovers Clara is 6 years older than Fabrizio. This results in an all new road block that seems impossible to be hurtled. Significant other cast members include Signora Naccarelli (Rebecca Pitcher*), Giuseppe Naccarelli (Alexander Ross*), Franca Naccarelli (Rebekah Rae Robless, and Roy Johnson (Rob Richardson*). The story artfully reflects a variety of forms that love can actually take. First, Maragaret represents the intensely protective form of mother love. Despite being trapped in an emotional vortex, constantly gurading Clara, she is forced to make often unpopular decisions to help decide what kind of future Clara will ever have. In that role, she is also struggling with her own relationship in a loveless marriage back home to her mega executive husband Roy. And to complicate the balance of what she must do, she is finding herself having to learn how to navigate the cultural differences she is encountering in Italy and with Fabrizio’s family. Next, of course, is the marvelous, child like innocence of first love that is evident in Clara, but also in Fabrizio. Then the production clearly demonstrates the Itallian concept of “la famiglia è tutto” (The family is everything) where one can see the traditional, prottective and highly supportive love Fabrizio’s family demonstrates for him and with each other under the pivotal role of the father.

The cast of The Light in the Piazza: photo by Julieta Cervantes An impressive cast of actors, including leads, ensembles, swing and extras provide a rich theatrical experience. The clever Scenic Design by Andrew Boyce with moving walkways, Roman ruins and statues, art museums, Cafe’s, apartments, shops, churches and hotel rooms, all flow flawlessly throughout the show, adding to the realism. Yuki Izumihar’ Projection Designs equally enhance the mood of the show at various moments. The music is performed by a dozen professional instrumentalists who prefectly support the lovely and lyrical songs as well as choreography by Daniel Pelzig. Artistic Director Loretta Greco stated, “This mother-daughter love story absolutely wrecked me when I experienced the premiere 20 years ago. Adam and Craig have crafted a stunning ode to the power of love in its many, many complicated guises. I’m thrilled to be directing this exquisitely rich show and to transport all of us to Florence in all its dreamy glory for a chance to be altered in the light of a new world.” Tickets for this sure to be unforgettable, highly entertaining and magnificent theatrical exploration of love and the human heart may be obtained at www.huntingtontheatre.org

ONGOING…THE ALL NEW BLUE MAN GROUP

Blue Man Group just celebrated 30 years in Boston and 25 years in Las Vegas. So now is the time to see what this laugh out loud sensation is all about! The joyous, most uniquely entertaining and enduring venue in Boston, Blue Man Group, has had a proverbial face lift. They still have those vibrant blue faces but their popular show has recently been updated and reimagined with additional new acts that include an all new, unforgettable and awe-inspiring, mega-finale. They have been a theatrical sensation in Boston for close to 30 years, but this great show has become even more exciting with its spectacular transformation. Since its debut in 1995, the show’s home remains at the Charles Playhouse, located at 74 Warrenton St., a diminutive way that is located just off 201 Stuart St. in Boston. Although there have been various alterations in the program throughout the years, the magnitude of this new theatrical restructure is over the top wonderful. The program still retains the same quirky trio of blue bald men who manage to say so much without actually saying anything at all. They exude a sense of wide eyed innocence in their static faces, but, demonstrate, through their wild actions and absurdly funny activates, the abandoned curiosity reminiscent of young children left alone in their house. They hurl marshmallow into their mouths at mind boggling distances and at the audience. They also hurl paint balls across the stage that are caught in the mouth and used to spit/create a work of art.

Their love of paint results in colorful spin art or out and out messes as they enthusiastically beat drums that paint has been poured on them. They even spray paint people. They walk, unabashedly through the audience across the arms of the audience’s’ seats, showing no emotion, in search of unwitting candidates for their next on stage, hilariously funny scenario.

Through music and perfectly timed subtle facial expressions, these guys manage to hone in on their topics. They are comedic geniuses that have mastered their art at crafting a uniquely fabulous, intensely ludicrous comedic performance. They continue to magically bring to the audience, without any verbiage, a state of understanding that easily defines the connection to the human condition. This is a technique the Blue Men have always been noted for. The best laughter is when we find ourselves laughing at ourselves. The Blue Men are still utilizing much of the fan favorite music and audience interactions that garnered their award-winning popularity. But, there are delightfully energetic new surprises to discover throughout this new adaptation. Gone is the electronic board that was utilized throughout the show that one had to read to understand what was going on. Now the Blue Men engage with a robotic voice along with fabulously colorful and high energy projections.

Original fans, are rapidly being joined with a whole new generation of all new fans who all find themselves captivated by the newly created score, pounded out with the traditional stellar accuracy by the Blue Men on their tuned PVC pipes. They are backed by an overhead trio of hot, rock musicians. Managing Director, Jack Kenn stated, “Blue Man Group is thrilled (with) this revolutionary new show content…(as) we…transport audiences with new music and new visuals through our partnership with renowned creative agency Pretty Damn Sweet…(along with)…the all-new show finale…that… leaves crowds on their feet.” Blue Man Group debuted at New York’s Astor Place Theatre in 1991. Duplicate versions of the live show expanded to long lived residencies in Boston, Chicago, Las Vegas, and internationally to Berlin, Germany. In addition, multiple North American and World tours have reached move than 50 million people worldwide.

The entire family can come get ‘blued’ as these guys enchant young and Children in the audience are often enthusiastically heard anxiously responding, excitedly anticipating the next silly action by the Blue Men. Note: children under 5 will not be admitted. Since Blue Man Group is owned and operated by Cirque du Soleil Entertainment Group, an audience can always be guaranteed a truly especial experience. Tickets for this beyond belief engaging as well as electrifying, and extremely fun performance may be obtained here by clicking on www.blueman.com/boston
