My Fair Lady — Page 3

Musical Master said: "John Treacy Egan is part of the great ensemble cast; that makes me wonder if he is going to understudy for Norbert Leo Butz as Alfred Dolittle. I hope he is."

I hope he’s also one of the two guys who sing “Little Bit of Luck” with Doolittle! It would make sense for Egan and Adam Gruper (who was also Burstein’s Tevye understudy) to cover Doolittle/Pickering.

That’s a great ensemble!

That would be exciting. But if it doesn't pan out, try seeing the night after opening.By then the review pressure is over and the cast tends to just let go and enjoy the show.

Jordan Donica made is Broadway debut as Raoul in Phantom of the Opera sometime in 2016 and his voice is so soothing and rich that when he was announced to play Freddy in My Fair Lady my heart leaped out in joy. He's going to make a wonderful Freddy.

He was a very solid Lafayette/Jefferson on the National Tour of Hamilton. He is also approximately 8 billion feet tall.

I'm also glad that they found a way to get a POC into the principal cast. Obviously Edwardian England was pretty short on rich black people, but it is a musical, and a very white one at that, so I'm glad they are able to make it diverse without changing the story. However, I'm not sure why Playbill is running the announcement using a photo of the guy playing the tiny role of Zoltan Karpathy instead of Jordan Donica as Freddy.

Also, in future productions, Pickering could very much be played as Indian, given the historical context.

I'm officially going in late April/early May to see the show and I'm bringing a friend with me. I'm so excited!

Also looking out for a voucher, I'm desperate to see this, but the cheapest tickets are $157 each on the date I'm after, which made me physically recoilfrom my laptop...

Is there a reason there are so few price bands for tickets? Seems to jump from $99 to $150 to $180?"

The main reason there are fewer price points for a theater like the Beaumont is because there is a higher ratio of great seats. In a normal Broadway house, there’s the issue of how far away or high up you are, which are big deterrents from purchasing those seats. The reason why tickets are generally expensive is because this is going to be a huge hit, at least for a year. They can command the price, so they do.

If you’re coming in to see it on a trip, maybe wait until the date gets closer and a discount could be floating around by then. Or chance it and try to get a ticket at TKTS. My guess is that there won’t be any significant discounts until at least 6/7 months in.

If you’re going to splurge for a front Loge seat, the Orchestra section probably isn’t much more $."

I've always liked the intimacy look the Vivian Beaumont always had.
