The Light in the Piazza Royal Festival Hall cast and creatives
This stunning musical embodies the feeling of Italy, eschewing the typical pop/rock of musical theatre in favour of a devastatingly beautiful and romantic operatic score. World-renowned, award-winning opera singer Renée Fleming, recently nominated for a Tony Award for her role in Carousel, stars alongside Disney Channel darling Dove Cameron. Both women make their West End debuts under the masterful direction of Tony and multi Olivier award winner Daniel Evans.
The West End cast of The Light in the Piazza also stars Celinde Schoenmaker (Fantine in Les Miserables, Christine Daaé in The Phantom of the Opera) as Franca Naccarelli, Malcolm Singer (Casino Royale, V for Vendetta) as Roy Johnson, Alex Jennings as Signor Naccarelli, Rob Houchen as love interest Fabrizio Naccarelli, Marie McLaughlin (Le Nozze di Figaro, La boheme, Don Giovanni) as Signora Naccarelli, and Liam Tamne as Giuseppe Naccarelli.
With live music by Opera North’s 40-piece onstage orchestra, The Light in the Piazza has proven to be a London theatre experience like no other, having received rave reviews from critics. The 6-time Tony award-winning musical is now showing London for a limited 4 week run at the Royal Festival Hall, Southbank Centre.

Not quite my cup of tea. Too operatic for my liking but that is just my personal taste. However Rob Houchen was superb and stood out as a future mega star. I felt you needed seats closer to the stage to enjoy the production more so perhaps it would have been better to have set it in a smaller theatre rather than an open spacious concert hall.
Well worth seeing this if you can.
Excellent venue, nice production, amazing music.
I thought the music very pedestrian. Renee Fleming wasted on this.
Loved the voices and orchestra. Collecting tickets from box office not a good experience though.
Very disappointed. Diction not clear apart from Renee Fleming and the actor who played the father.
Very comfortable theatre. Enjoyed the show. I wasn't a huge fan of the leading role's voice, but the two supporting leads were excellent.
A wonderful evening with a fabulous cast and a great show.
Beautiful show with an extremely talented cast. I loved the simplicity of the set design, and the depth of each of the characters. The music is gorgeous, a mix of dramatic opera and more golden-aged music theatre.
Fantastic show.
This was a tedious production - we left at the interval as could not bear to watch the second half. The music was dreary , the alternation between English and Italian was frustrating and the characters were annoying. The whole storyline was clearly going no-where and did not keep the attention.
Amazing!!!

What’s closing in London Theatre this month? (July 2019)
Summer holidays are upon us and undoubtedly there’s lots to look forward to this summer, but be sure you don’t miss out on these brilliant shows that are set to end their runs this month. The closing of these shows will see some wonderful actors that we not long welcomed to the West End leave us, such as Hayley Atwell (Henrik Ibsen's Rosmersholm) and Dove Cameron (Daniel Evans' The Light in the Piazza). Thankfully, there is still time to see some spectacular casts and fantastic shows before they close their doors for good.

London Theatre Review: The Light in the Piazza at Southbank Centre's Royal Festival Hall
On the face of it, The Light in the Piazza playing at the Royal Festival Hall in London’s Southbank Centre is a glossy Hollywood-style 1950s musical rom-com. It ticks all the boxes; a great set, gorgeously stylish costumes and shiny happy people. Even the lighting reflects the hyper-real light that exists in the Mediterranean, which makes colours pop and everyone and everything look and feel spectacular.
