[The Light in the Piazza]

That's exactly what it is. It's very much classical lite.

Honestly I HATE The Light in the Piazza-- I'm a huge musical guy and while there ARE some new musicals I've enjoyed, I do admittedly tend to prefer old ones. But The Light in the Piazza's music was so bland and I couldn't connect to it emotionally at all. It doesn't fill me with rage or anything, most of the time I just forget that it exists, but whenever I am reminded of it I do just remember how much I hated it.

I'd recommend trying different musicals-- there are a lot of different styles over the course of musical theatre history and I do think you'll find something you click with out there! But yeah, you're def not the only person who found this one wildly overrated.

Been a fan of musicals my whole life and am willing to go on record that "The Light in the Piazza" is wildly overrated. (I'm not wild about a lot of modern musicals, though. I grew up on Rogers & Hammerstein, Kander & Ebb, and a little bit of Sondheim (not any deep cuts), so take my opinion with a grain of salt.)

I've never even heard of this one, so I guess it hasn't gained enough fame or notoriety to cross into the classical music circles I'm in. Which usually means it's either very uninteresting or super small-scale (like something made specifically for high school or church drama groups). *shrug*

I don’t know this one but modern musicals aren’t to my taste. I’ve seen most and the music feels…off, I guess? I can’t think of any other word for it. It always feels like they’re trying to copy the greats of yesteryear and falling short. When combined with the advances in every other aspect of stage musicals, it’s terrible.

What do people mean when they say modern musicals? I mean, vaguely what eras are being compared.

I see every musical I can, I love them, and Piazza is the only one I left at intermission. My friend too. We both hated it. HATED IT.
