I guess I can sort of deal with Benanti not being cast in MY FAIR LADY (a travesty!) if it means she still gets to come to Broadway next season and in a comedic play. I feel her comedic gifts are so rarely put to use, and I also love it when actors who are usually thought of as musical theatre actors get cast in plays.
I used to love Amy Schumer the first few seasons of her show, but after the last season of the show and the Netflix comedy special, I've been disappointed with her acting. Maybe going back to stage and disappearing into a role will be a nice change of space for her. I'm willing to give her the benefit of the doubt. And I think it's great that there are two good roles for funny ladies. I'll take it.
