I actually loved that about Ambrose's Eliza on stage. I'm not sure how I can best describe this, but it felt like I was being drawn into everything she did in a very immediate and intimate way. Kelli O'Hara's performances under Sher's direction have a similar quality. Some of this has to do with the Beaumont being a huge stage and Sher not favoring huge amplification. Sher's style with musicals, and often with plays, is to invite the audience to actively enter the world on stage, rather than that world being delivered to them as passive spectators.
