Scarlett Strallen will be Broadway's next Poppins — Page 2

But Mary isn't American.

Mary isn't human either!!
For a non-native English user like myself, it seems that Scarlett speaks beautifully and her pronunciation is comfortably stylish.
Not well sure about British accent but even I notice Ashley's fake British accent is chronic and hasn't been improved. Gavin Creel did terrible fake Cockney accent at first, though he got it two years later.(Wouldn't have done perfectly but he tried it to be better).
When he started in the show, to my knowledge, British audiences never complained of him because he is American.
How narrow minded, you said you are angry that an American actress wasn't replaced. Blinkered!

I personally found Gavin Creel better in every way to the already-superb Gavin Lee. Right down to the accent. There is hope for Americans yet!

Creel's accent was as perfect as it could get. Well at least that's what I thought every time I saw him. Loved him to bits!
Wasn't really fond of Ms Strallen though, I just couldn't warm to her take on the role. Never understood the hype around her Mary.
