Review title: Disappointed
Product review: The Light in the Piazza was so acclaimed as a musical in the great tradition of the composer's grand-father (Richard Rodgers) that I bought the cast album to familiarize myself with the music before seeing the show. (I have tickets for Sept. 24th.) In the golden age of American musical theater, a hit show spawned instant hit songs which were already very familiar to theatregoers when they entered the theater. I was sorry to find out that there is nothing in The Light in the Piazza that can become a hit tune. The lyrics don't even rhyme. This may turn out to be an effective show in the theater, but the plot and the actors will have to prop up the weak music. The cast album to me is a bust. It demonstrates that the score for this show cannot stand on its own. I'll go back to my cast albums of South Pacific, My Fair Lady, West Side Story, Gypsy, etc. These albums reveal the shows as works of genius. The Light in the Piazza is not a work of genius and the cast album demonstrates this.
