Yeah, Mc- Eye. I would have never guessed that is how you ponounce it in a million years...

Why can't people have names like Mary Martin or Ethel Merman and, for that matter, talent like theirs?

It's definitely pronounced Am-Nair-Ez. I haven't heard it any other way.

sorry if this is really obvious, but:

Lauren Molina, is it Mo-Line-Ah or Mo-Leen-Ah?

Not Broadway actor related, but character: Enjolras? I've always pronounced it "On-johl-ross" but I'm not sure if that's correct.

While we're at it...a friend and I have an argument to settle. Jule Styne: I say JOO-LEE, as in Julie Andrews, my friend says JOOL. Who's right?

Not today, Geraldine.

What about Michael Cerveris? Is it "server-is" or "sir-ver-is"?

A name that I always pronounced incorrectly was Lithgow. I've always heard Lith-GOW like cow, but on the DRS CR, he says Lith-GO.

I would think of his name in terms of how you say "Glasgow." Glaz-GOH. Lith-GOH.

And Dirty Rotten, I'd like to know that too. I think it's OHN-johl-rah, but I'm not sure.

Daniel Reichard of Jersey Boys....
I had to ask him bc Ive heard his name said 3 diff ways...

He pronounces it Rye-kerd or Reich-erd..pick whatever phonetical version gets the point across...lol

I'm guessing that it's probably how he pronounced it. I've always said it Rye-chard, but it would appear I was wrong. Good to know.

That's correct. And if you really want to check, listen to the Paris revival cast recording. You can hear Feuilly yell it.

Not sure if I ever got an answer to this question. . .

but how do you pronounce "Headley" (as in Heather). I've heard it as "heed-ly" and "head-ly". Anyone know?

Another silly one, but would you just "Lay-ah" or "Lee-ah" Salonga. Once again, I've heard both.

[LizzieCurry]

re: Broadway names pronunciation#142

Posted: 8/16/06 at 11:18pm

All the interviews I have of Lea Salonga on Filipino TV pronounce it lay-ah. I would go with their pronuncation above all others.

Manoel Felciano - Fell-chee-ah-no? Fell-see-ah-no?

Michael Berresse - Buh-RESS-ee? BEAR-uh-see? Buh-RESS?

Charlotte D'Amboise - D-ambwah? D-ambwahz?

D'Amboise is the second way, D-ambwahz.

I wonder about Berresse too. I always say buh-RESS but I don't know if that's right.
