Should Robert Englund Play Freddy In The MY FAIR LADY Revival?

It would make the dated musical more modern, I think.

YES.

I like Jackie Earle Haley as Freddy more.

How dare you. I wish this site had a "block user" feature!

Englund's version of "On the Street Where You Lived" would be amazing.

Kanye West!!

But Jackie would have the vulnerability needed to counteract Eliza's "Show me". Like in the pre-masturbation Little Children scenes.

Lady Gaga.

Robert Englund would just call Eliza a whore or a bitch, slip her some Ambien, and exit stage right

Clearly this is a fabulous idea, especially considering his very successful musical background

Don't forget Freddie the talking flute in H.R. Pufnstuff, or as the late Jack Wild said it, "Fweddie".

They'd have to add a new song, "Welcome to Broadway, Bitch".

"I wish this site had a "block user" feature!"

Finally, something we agree on.

I vote for the talking flute. "On the Stweet Wewe You Live!"

By the way, when was the last time a "modernized" book for a "dated" musical worked?

I mean ever?

"What we need to do is to make it current and relevant for today's audiences ... or, in other words, a whole lot worse."

They could set it in Washington Heights.

My Fair Chica!

Henry H. can rap instead of talk-sing!

Angela Lansbury for Abuela Higgins!

Perfect!

Will Mario Lopez lay on the ground near the concession stand behind the orchestra loudly doing situps when he's not on stage like he did during A CHORUS LINE?

[best12bars]

I think Karen Olivo will actually play the piece of paper that falls out of your Playbill telling you she's not in the show that day.

This thread is gonzo. And brilliant.

And I am referring to Hunter S Thompson gonzo, not blue Muppet Gonzo.

But now that I think about a Muppet MFL would be pretty cool too.

Miss Piggy would have the keys lowered. And that eagle dude could be Pickering.

Jason Segel as Higgins.
