| Maybe this is splitting hairs, but does one have to have this info ahead of time? I vividly remember a scene where Fabrizio's father freaks out when he reads the marriage paperwork and learns that Clara is 26, much older than his son. Maybe this scene wasn't in the show when CKB was playing Clara? But if it was, then it shouldn't be confusing how old she is and one shouldn't have to know in advance, right? But maybe the earlier poster is talking more about how she "reads" than what the libretto is telling us. I do think CKB can read very child like, as evidenced by her being cast to play children numerous times. I didn't see CKB in Piazza, but some who did told me that she played whatever impairments resulted from the horse incident in a more apparent way than Kelli. Perhaps this playing of mental "otherness" came across as more childish? | |

Yes, but I assume the issue was possible audience confusion about Clara's age BEFORE it as mentioned that she's 26. On that note, see JereNYC's post below. |

| I vaguely remember that audience confusion on this point continued in previews at Lincoln Center and the creatives decided to add a scene that revealed this information to the audience much earlier on in the show. | |
