Eliza? - My Fair Lady Revival 2018 — Page 14

In order to be "literally perfect" for the role, she would have to be an actual London born 19th century cockney flower girl named Eliza Doolittle.

People seem to not understand the meaning of the word literal.

I think another Laura- Michelle Kelly seems like a possibility.

Benanti is not doing this, she is too old.

They are looking for a new face not a Broadway 'name'. Higgins will be the star casting.

If it's not a "Broadway" name then Jordan clues wouldn't make sense. I think we are just gonna have to wait and see unfortunately. I hope it's soon so we can stop going crazy here

Yeah we've been discussing that pupscotch. Robbie said it isn't her though and if anyone on this board would know it'd be him.

Indeed, Laura confirms this upcoming announcement is not My Fair Lady.

The name I heard is still on the running but now I'm wondering if she's an alternate or understudy..

O my we are driving recklessly tonight, my dear. I suggest you put your foot on that brake right now.

This is who I've been hoping for all along.

I would not be one of those people. Lovely singer, actress, and person, but totally unexciting for this production.

Well I'm pretty disappointed. Not gonna lie

From what I hear Benanti and Sher don't get along so well so she's probably known from day one it wouldn't be her. She said pretty much straight away 'I think they'll be going in another direction'.

I'd love to see Laura Michelle Kelly. Honestly what if it's Kelli? I'd be extremely happy with that. Also unexpected idea what about Carmen Cusack? She's got a killer soprano and she's worked with Sher before on the national tour of South Pacific. It would also fit in with the clue Jordan gave about being nominated for a Tony within the last five years.

^Which is where and when I believe the tension was formed. Just what I've heard.
