My absolute dream of a musical would be an Eartha Kitt bio musical starring amber gray in the titular role and Lynn Nottage and Anais Mitchell behind the book and music, respectively. George C Wolfe is directing. Who’s in?
I am so on board for this.
Yes.
I actually feel that Kenita Miller is a better fit for playing Eartha. In past interviews she has expressed being a fan of Eartha's and wanting to create a theatre piece around her.
I say this as a big fan of the Hadestown score, what the hell would Anaïs Mitchell be doing writing a traditional musical theatre score? Is Eartha going to be a folk singer here?
1. HELL YES PLEASE.
2. Can we include Audra Day in the running? I have been dying for her to do a Kitt biopic ever since the Billie Holiday film - I even mentioned this idea to her and she liked it.

I just think she’s the perfect writer for ambers voice. I think she has the range to pull off something in Eartha Kitts style of music.
