Now that a second departure from My Fair Lady has been announced, does anyone have any replacement predictions?

I believe the OP meant Diana Rigg when they said "second departure." She is the second principal after Manu Narayan left in June.

That's not an "announcement", that's gossip.

They announced it to the company and staff at LTC 4 days ago. Get in the groove......

Perhaps you could update the thread title to reflect this is about My Fair Lady.

I don't think most people would call that an official announcement. How is the public supposed to know if there as not been an announcement made on news feeds and social media? I would call this more insider information that you and a few others are privy to, rather then an official statement made by LTC to the general public. It isn't even listed on their website or telecharge.

She's had issues with her voice for many months now on and off, so I wouldn't be surprised. Plus, Rigg calling her out was pretty awful as well. Although, they probably would have made that announcement so ticket buyers could be in the know.

It will be made public after a replacement contract is signed.

My friend told me that Laura Benanti was in attendance over the weekend.

How ironic would it be if Benanti ended up doing it as a replacement? However, she was very public about the fact the Bartlett Sher did not demonstrate any real interest in casting her when she went out for the role. That said, Sher might have always pretty much planned on having Ambrose do it, and had other ladies audition just do "make sure." Now that Ambrose is leaving, and he's seen the wildly mixed response to her, he (and the producers) may want to go with a more sure-fire, "safe" choice like Benanti.

I guess Harry is going to be gone for a month but I do not know if that is before Ambrose's departure.

Harry’s gone for three weeks in September, I think.

Harry Hadden-Paton is out of the show from September 22 through October 21. Anyone know why he's taking such a long leave?

Can't your "friend" at LCT tell you?

I believe the Downtown Abbey movie is supposed to shoot this fall.

My friend indicated it was due to filming. My friend did not exactly know why Ambrose was leaving. The consensus was that she was just moving on.

I am not 100% sure, but I thought my friend said that Kerstin was leaving the show as well and that it was happening before Ambrose's departure.

She was cast in leading role in a television series. So, that's probably why.
