Photo Coverage: Gypsy Robe Presented to The Light in the Piazza's Laura Griffith

By: Walter McBride Apr. 20, 2005

The colorful Gypsy Robe, embellished with mementos from Broadway musicals, is presented to the cast member who has the most Broadway chorus credits. For The Light in the Piazza, the robe was presented to Laura Griffith, who previously appeared on Broadway in Oklahoma! and Sweet Smell of Success.

Based on the novel by Eliza Beth Spencer, The Light in the Piazza is set in the summer of 1953 and tells the story of a mother and daughter traveling through Italy, the daughter's romance with a handsome, high-spirited Florentine, and the mother's determined efforts to keep the two apart.
