Seeing THE LIGHT IN THE PIAZZA 🥀🕊 Dove Cameron, Rob Houchen, Celinde Schoenmaker + more!

I'm finally seeing my favorite musical, The Light in the Piazza! Starring Dove Cameron, Rob Houchen, Renee Fleming, Celinde Schoenmaker
🌻🌻 OPEN ME 🌻🌻
OH MY GOODNESS! Today is the day y'all! I screamed like a little fan girl when the LA OPERA kindly invited to opening night of The Light in the Piazza starring #DoveCameron, , Rob Houchen, Renee Fleming, Celinde Schoenmaker, Brian Stokes Mitchell, and more! If you haven't seen on my main channel (this is my vlog channel, if ya didn't know!), THE LIGHT IN THE PIAZZA is one of my fave shows and has my all time favorite Broadway score!! But here's the catch-- I've never actually see it live! It's a beautiful, rarely produced musical so when I found out the London production was transferring to Los Angeles, I just about lost my mind. So come join me for a lil (actually big. this is definitely a longer vlog for me lol) day in my life as I finally get to see THE LIGHT IN THE PIAZZA!

“ I get to be married to Jeremy Jordan”😂😂😂😂

[@partyatkats]

Livin the dream 😂

[@maggiebouse9333]

party at kat's really though😂 isn’t it everyone’s dream to be married to that amazing man😂

[@isabelladippel9649]

she’s always been relatable and this takes the cake 😂

[@rat5800]

but honestly same tho

[@danielc9483]

i saw it in london, fabulous production

[@kelly-bv9zq]

mama steele and kat: crying el stefano: probably still calling it pizza

[@partyatkats]

But honestly tho

[@juliazook7203]

your mom’s hopeful voice as you could SEE the hearts in her eyes “I get to be married to Jeremy Jordan?!”

[@kelly-bv9zq]

no one: not a soul: el stefano: LiGhT iN tHe PiZzA!!

[@Anne_303]

Kelly Okeeffe *Kat legit just replaces him with JJ(I’m calling him JJ)* Her mom: iM mARriEd tO jJ??

[@kelly-bv9zq]

A Girl how i’d react honestly

[@Anne_303]

Kelly Okeeffe honestly SAME BRO

[@lindsaylavender9110]

“and then your fans won’t care bc it’s Jeremy Jordan”

[@ellamoellano]

Kat and the red carpet is like Olaf and summer.

[@05RoadRunner]

Omg 😂

[@Anne_303]

Kat: Is hype Me: is hype because she is happy 😁

[@partyatkats]

This is literally the purest thing I have ever read

[@Anne_303]

party at kat's THANKS KAT!! 😆 I’m just honestly so happy you and your mom so in love with it together!! ❤️❤️

[@bareabopopera3091]

Kat’s mum is a solid mood “I get to be married to Jeremy Jordan?”

[@Coqui2005]

Kat: *Excited because she is going to the red carpet of her favorite show* Red carpet event: *Nonexistent* Kat: *aM i A jOkE tO yOu?*

[@emilykershner7013]

“Light in the Pizza”

[@partyatkats]

🍕🍕

[@erikaarreola216]

My bf kept saying that when we saw it 😂

[@mickeyfan5534]

el stefano: *dad joke* kat: *life slowly drains from her eyes*

[@erikaarreola216]

Just watched it last night, and it was so magical! Rob Houchen was phenomenal! Dove Cameron was a break out and I can’t wait to see what she does next. She took such good care of Clara. My favorite part was “Hysteria”! The childlike sob that Dove let out when she broke down broke my heart! I’m so happy I saw this performance. It was truly special.

[@valentinagrillini7608]

I only have one issue with LITP, and that is that they never cast italians to play the italian characters. As someone who lives and trains in Italy I know a lot of people in London who are italian and would have done an amazing job at this, but I get casting big names. But still, no one ever talks about the fact that there are never any italians in the cast. What do you think?🤔

[@BeatriceHooper]

I love Rob! It’s strange to see people like him & Celinde in LA now as I know them from the West End

[@partyatkats]

YES!!! It was so cool! I’ve known about them for a while but never thought I’d be able to see them perform 😍

[@pepper12399]

Beatrice Hooper same I saw rob in Les mis and met him at stage door he was lovely and I adore celinde

[@Kishkumen33]

It is indeed weird to see them here in LA. I have only ever seen them before in Carrie's vlogs...

[@magicshooooop]

The ‘ou’ in Houchen is pronounced like house, if that makes sense, and Celinde is Salinda.

[@partyatkats]

Thank you!!!!!!

[@99lodewijk]

More like 'Suh-lind-uh' emphasis on the first 'Suh' it's a Dutch pronunciation.

[@charlottel3962]

Last time I was this early Kat thought she was walking the red carpet

[@partyatkats]

omg 😂😂 you win

[@charlottel3962]

party at kat's lol 😂😂😂

[@cassondrabarnes5517]

Wow, how sweet of Kath to vlog one of the best nights of my life so I could have a souvenir forever... But seriously Kat, thank you for being so sweet!! Hope to run into you at more LA theater events in the future :)

[@ObsessedWallflower]

You talking about Rob ❤️ Yes, he is stellar

[@partyatkats]

He’s absolutely incredible!!

[@notocean38]

Ok but your dad had a point. I can’t go to Canada without hearing eh like 200 times and I’m surprised as a Canadian I don’t say it

[@madisonlaw-mcleod8155]

As a Canadian I have never heard anybody say eh.

[@stephanierogge6972]

oh my god how long was he sitting on that Canadian pizza joke

[@annalong3503]

You should do a Clara character tutorial, I would love to hear your analysis on her character (also everything that was said in this vlog was iconic)

[@krystallights1325]

OMG CELINDE SCHOENMAKER!!!! as a dutchie I'm so proud of her!!! She's one of my favorite Christine in poto (Btw it's pronounced as se-LIN-duh)

[@katemcbrearty4298]

Saw this production in London in June and thought the same thing about Rob Houchen, he definitely stole the show for me. Aiutami was a real stand-out!

[@amberrosalie_]

"I get to be married to Jeremy Jordan?" HAHA. Yes.

[@thatoneannoyingsoprano8066]

6:07 DID YOU START THE MUSIC SPECIFICALLY HERE SO IT WOULD BE ANOTHER “AYE”?

[@laurakivimaki9956]

They do the writing on screens sometimes for people who are deaf so they can follow along with the plot💕 I went to see the bands visit in Toronto a couple days ago and they also had the screen and I assumed it was for translating the Hebrew and Arabic but it wasn’t! I did some research and found that that’s why they do they words on a screen.

[@carlysand7771]

At the theater near me they use it for translating for operas

[@jocelynerika3939]

"And your fans won't care cause its Jeremy Jordan " 😂

[@eveb8289]

the jeremy jordan is hilarious 😂

[@libertysuzanne9199]

i recognised celinde’s VOICE on the rocketman soundtrack without knowing she was in it. was great when i saw the film and realised it was her

[@kamanonickname]

I'm here for Rob Houchen and Celinde

[@octaviareohr]

Jeremy Jordan😂😍 your moms response tho "I get to be married to Jeremy Jordan"

[@hannahsteele9062]

You inspire me every day to be a better version of me and it like having a really cool older sister!! I love you Kat!!💋

[@daraiyahurt2877]

CAN I PLEASE SEE MS. STEELE AS GLINDA!?

[@wyattmichaels4008]

Just the other day I was looking for monologues and found some good comedy ones and the top one was a monologue from Love’s Labour’s Lost by Baron! See you later BARON!

[@wyattmichaels4008]

In the monologue it showed multiple spellings

[@lidelconstructioninc.3256]

"I get to be married to Jeremy Jordan"- any theatre kids dream, also "I'm going to cover you up with a picture of Jeremy Jordan and your fans won't care because it's Jeremy Jordan" so true and iconic. Edit: also about the kids thing I went to a production of Waitress when it was in my city and I was like close to the youngest person in the theater( I'm thirteen by the way.

[@samsingsthings]

I saw this when it was in London twice! It was beautiful. I had no idea it went across seas. So glad that more people get to see and appreciate it

[@halliejohnson3887]

Kat: manages to look all cute and attractive while stuffing her face with pizza Me: HooooOOOooow. P.S. You're the one who introduced me to Light in the Piazza and I really, really can't thank you enough! So happy you got to see it live :)

[@julianaperdomo9926]

Kat is out there living the dream💛

[@pacificsock4115]

Kat’s parents should have a comedy show

[@colonyofrats4193]

Ive met rob 3 times before he’s such a sweetheart x

[@PrincessMeggala0913]

Your dad is the funniest oh my goodness. ALSO, YOUR DRESS IS SO GORGEOUS! Mm. Yes.

[@rebeccah2662]

Yes! I’ve been waiting for this vlog! I was a huge fan of Dove Cameron when I was younger and light in the Piazza is so good!

[@finn5082]

whoever unliked this video will have the MACBETH curse on their next show

[@LoveNeko64]

You don't mess with that stuff. Four people died and the chandelier fell every night.

[@05RoadRunner]

Woah there that’s some serious stuff

[@jamesbaldwin5686]

They said "Macbeth" in Hamilton

[@katherinevadney948]

James Baldwin and after that Hamilton’s life fell apart

[@jamesbaldwin5686]

@@katherinevadney948 Wow you're right! Was that planned by Lin?!

[@hannahtallulah7459]

I had no idea that it moved to LA, that's so exciting!!

[@partyatkats]

Yes!!!! I think it’s headed to Chicago next!

[@Nightling727]

Ahh I'm so happy for you Kat! I'm so glad that you got to see this show!

[@dumbdumb4024]

I love how hyped you are. So fricken adorable, I'm sure you had an absolutely great time 😳💕💕💕

[@alyssaaaaa6851]

Kat fangirling over the big minion at universal is a big west coast mood

[@leeparrish6094]

She makes my heart happy

[@hannahsteele9062]

You’re so lucky kat!! I love your videos so much and you bring me so much joy!!!💝⭐️

[@itme9741]

Yay!!! I’m sooooooo excited that you got to see this and that it brings you joy!!!

[@ashleyanderson6931]

Your dad's reactions in the background were exactly what I needed today. Plus Jeremy Jordan

[@AleRoProductions]

I just found your channel (both) and loved the content! I went to see twice Light in the piazza (both times Dove got sick so she wasn't in it) and I tweeted about it to the producer telling him the understudy was amazing! but that it was a shame I didn't get to see Dove...next thing...he gave me 3 comps! for two different days (2 for one day and 1 for a day) ♥ LOVED LIGHT IN THE PIAZZA!! ♥ and your channel is amazing! ended up seeing it 4 times hahaha

[@aperson4607]

I'm so incredibly jealous, I'm so glad you all got to see this wonderful show!

[@emmybm15]

Yay Kat understands the love we have for Rob!! (Saw him as Marius during Carrie's first year and I was like "AHH LOVE HIM NOW!!")

[@jennawilson6851]

So excited! I just got tickets for the Chicago production, and I’m so excited!

[@sherlockfan2000]

So glad you finally got to see Light In The Piazza Kat, & it sounds like the cast were amazing as well. I was lucky enough to see Celinde Schoenmaker play Christine in Phantom Of The Opera in the West End during a weekend trip to London for my 30th birthday about 3 years ago & you're so right about her, she is an amazing performer & has a beautiful singing voice.

[@annabelleroach7975]

The bangs are back? *shocked

[@daisy8811]

I'm going to see it this Friday! So excited 😍

[@charlottehannan1937]

YeESSSS ROB HOUCHEN!! As a London girl it makes me so happy for you to see Rob live! He's such a down to earth cool guy!! xxxx

[@tapiocapearl0304]

OMG WHAT!!! The show transferred to LA!!! And you got to see it!!! SO SO SO happy for you! I watched the pro shot because of you last summer, and it truly took my breath away.

[@partyatkats]

🥰🥰🥰

[@nadineschulze8914]

You seem so excited about the show so now i have to check out the soundtrack... and the story... thanks, Kat!

[@taylorcarmen5336]

help with the names: Rob's last name is pronounced How-chen. Celinde is pronounced Se-linda

[@Olitoia]

I absolutely adored this show on West End. I spent a day working with Adam Guettel in a workshop so I got to go to the preview of the show, Dove was disappointing then but I heard that she got better as the season went along. Renee and Rob were absolutely phenomenal. Such a great show, such a great score and I feel so grateful I got to see it

[@beatricerose7426]

i’ve never been this early on a video ahh, but kat looks so happy in this video omg 💗

[@SonneLittle]

Im so so so so happy you got the opportunity to see your favorite musical live!!! I hope they release the soundtrack cause Id love to listen to it! You look STUNNING, and holy damn when you said it was very late I was amazed at how fresh and perfect your makeup looked! Mine doesnt last that much hours so I was amazed! Also sorry for my horrible english dkfslgjk

[@isabellav.3854]

You were able to introduce me to this beautiful musical, which has changed my life. I am so excited that you were able to see it live! So much love to you, Kat!

[@ryleemorrow6811]

That dress is so pretty! I just added all of "The Light in the Piazza" songs to my spotify and I cant wait to listen

[@jetmariano]

We are obsessed with "Light in the Piazza" and we try to watch different productions everywhere...from Calgary, Canada, University of Portland production, London Premiere production, and the most recent, in Seattle last month where it all started before NY. It was a concert style production but it was wonderful. We can't wait to see it in Sydney next year. (we love the show so much that we named our lady garden statue "Clara" as the light in our garden..) cra cra...Thanks for sharing your LITP experiences...

[@brandondellinger565]

I was lucky enough to see the original production and it remains one of the most beautiful shows I’ve ever seen. AND I once met Brian Stokes Mitchell and he was without a doubt the nicest person ever!!

[@claire4everyang]

I saw Celinde as Christine in Phantom and SHE IS EVERYTHING

[@Alex_07402]

I'm so happy for you Kath that you got to see your favorite show! 💖 It happened to me too this weekend! I saw Waitress in NYC! 😭😍 My first Broadway show! It was absolutely perfect. 🥰

[@gracewhillis7562]

I saw it at the west end and it was absolutely stunning! I wish I could see it again and again it was just so beautiful

[@sophiegrace9523]

You are my inspiration for theater!

[@broadwaymike92]

Saw the B-Roll clips from this production...… WOW!!!! It brings a new life to this iconic story. Light in the Piazza is one of my favorites as well. Sad I never saw the original staging on Broadway but I grew up watching it from the LIVE FROM LINCOLN CENTER filmed performance. Praying they bring this new production to Broadway especially because the show just celebrated its 15TH ANNIVERSARY of its Broadway debut (even for a limited engagement).

[@lene_m.r7778]

This really reminds me of me and my mom, when we had a similar experience. We went to see a musical, which we both loved unconditionally and wanted to see for years, with the most amazing cast we could've asked for. We both cried throughout the entire evening. Always going to be one of my favorite experience with my mom ever❤️❤️

[@izzidfizzy]

Saw the show in London and cried. It was so emotional for me and just truly beautiful.

[@partyatkats]

It was stunning 💗

[@amberdorington1606]

Saw Rob in Les Mis last night. AMAZING. Also saw Celinde a few weeks ago at BBC proms in the park, love her so much!

[@_giddy]

I was binging your videos and didn’t notice you uploaded!

[@jamiehood850]

I didn't realize they were out of the West End! That's so cool that you got to go!

[@user-st9jo9dg8e]

Fun fact! Walt Disney concert hall was in glee! It’s the in season 4, the NYADA circle room where Rachel/Kurt/Blaine perform multiple times!

[@molliewilson3138]

I kept waiting for her to talk about Celinde I love her soooo much!!!

[@Jan2times]

Saw it a few days ago at Dorothy Chandler and I loved it. The cast was perfection.

[@addie8334]

My heart is always full when u play that clip with ur mom and Will Roland

[@LexxLafever]

Half way though this i paused and listened to the whole cast album and read along with the lyrics and Wikipedia plot outline. I’ve been meaning to do this for a while but wow. Wow wow wow. I’m floored. 1am on an October Tuesday night is just the perfect time for my body to fully be ready for this. Definitely one of my new favs. Thank you kat💕💕

[@partyatkats]

YAY!!!! So happy to hear that!!!!!

[@ellie-maybrown6430]

Omg another west end favourite Danny Becker is in that show. I saw him in Aladdin west end back in January he was on for Aladdin and he was amazing.

[@naesmitty3888]

I’m early?! Kat, if you’re reading this, you are such an inspiration. I love singing and acting and your channel has a great vibe! Keep doing what you’re doing! ;D

[@adamkort5424]

I’M SEEING IT ON SATURDAY!

[@finn5082]

1:45 love a good kat steele outfit of the day moment

[@aaguilar1962]

I love her room.

[@andersonfamily]

Closest I am going to get to coming to see this is watching a few clips on KZbin from the LA Opera page... but it looks stunning....... I too have had my Brian Stoakes Mitchell moment. A long time ago he was singing at a capital fourth in DC I spent the whole day waiting on the lawn in the extreme heat with my toddler and my husband I took a moment to go inside Union Station for a drink and to cool off and he was in there with his family and doing some window shopping. No one really knew who he was but I marched right over like a total dork and shook his hand.. his wife complemented how cute my son was and we chatted for a bit about family and DC. SO SUPER NICE. Been a huge fan ever since.

[@HaleyRadiant]

I saw Light in the Piazza not even knowing a thing about it when I was in high school & now it’s one of my favorite musicals EVER!! That show really was one of the musicals that made me more interested in the musical theatre world as a admirer 🥰💖💛❤️✨🥰

[@partyatkats]

It’s so beautiful 💕💕

[@siirenspell]

The joke about Canadian pizza KILLED me

[@katies7415]

I saw the production when it was in London and I didn’t like it. BUT that’s purely because it’s just not my kind of show. I thought the cast was INCREDIBLE (I wasn’t expecting Dove to be so good. I’ve seen Celinde and Rob in concerts and stuff and I thought they were absolutely fantastic as always), the set and costumes were fantastic, the actual story and music just isn’t for me but I understand why people like it❤️

[@nelsonquinney2597]

Outstanding Great Sparkle

[@Mariia.Cascales]

I honestly think you are one of the first people outside my "evironment" (so like, spanish/french/italian fashion) who realises that pink and red DO NOT go together. Idk why, most brits (sorry if you don't actually do this) combine red and pink like it looks fine. Psa: It doesn't.

[@brittney5859]

Glad your posting on the day I'm seeing Le Miserables lol

[@laisalmeida5575]

I laughed harder than I expected with the canadian pizza joke, tho

[@InnerUtopia]

Your parents are the actual cutest

[@daisymurf4727]

I want to cry because of how much I love Rob Houchen

[@partyatkats]

a MOOD

[@tobyfinney768]

I would love to see a production of Light in the Piazza! 🤩
