Clark won a 2005 Tony Award as Best Actress in a Musical for playing Margaret. Bruised from her own withering marriage, Margaret attempts to impede her daughter Clara's romance with the dashing Fabrizio while on vacation in Florence. The Light in the Piazza has surpassed all expectations to become one of the biggest musical hits in Lincoln Center's history; the Adam Guettel musical recently extended its run to January 1st, 2006 (it was to have closed this June).
Cohenour, who was with Piazza during its Seattle and Chicago engagements, received a 1986 Tony Award nomination for her performance as Rosa Bud in The Mystery of Edwin Drood. Her other Broadway credits include A Doll's Life, Big River, The Phantom of the Opera (also in Canada) and The Sound of Music. At Encores!, she performed in Sweet Adeline and other credits include Show Boat and The Pirates of Penzance.
It was also recently announced that Aaron Lazar (On the Town at ENO, Oklahoma!) will succeed Tony-nominee Matthew Morrison as Fabrizio on September 2nd, and Chris Sarandon (Nick and Nora, The Rothschilds, films such as Dog Day Afternoon) will take over for Mark Harelik as Signor Naccarelli on September 13th.
