Having just seen some bootleg vids of Kelli O'Hara in Piazza I can say I much prefer her, and I think Victoria Clark was better then too. Kelli has a much more focused presence that's heartbreaking as I feel Clara is supposed to be.
Katie's voice is much more childlike, whereas Kelli's sounds more like a woman aching to break free from her body and brain. "The LIght In the Piazza" is such a breathtaking aria anyway, man oh man.

I just learned it today and really began to apprecate it.
This music really gets prettier the more you listen to it. I'm hoping the show will be the same way.
