With this rumor of Britney...

Posted: 3/24/04 at 6:39pm

Who would be your ideal Eliza (or Higgins, Pickering, Doolittle, etc) in a Broadway revival of "My Fair Lady"?

I think maybe Emmy Rossum or Anne Hathaway -some of the youngins. Laura Benanti or Rachel York would be a couple other choices. And if youth wasn't a factor - Audra or Rebecca Luker.

After seeing Martine McCutcheon (a minority, I know), I can't imagine anyone else in the role.

I would go with Rachel York. I believe that woman can do anything after seeing her in Kiss Me Kate. Although Anne Hathaway or Emmy Rossum would be the smartest choices, because Hathaway already has a wide fanbase and Rossum the same after the Phantom movie. Hopefully, Hathaway will be tied up with "Women in White" and "Carnival!"

Voiceanth - You continue to surprise me. No mention of Christina Spears, but instead, you choose a dead film star to be your ideal Eliza. An amazing improvement, I must say.

Oops! My bad! You did not say Beulah would be your ideal Eliza, but merely that she would "ROCK", which would be accurate as she is now probably fossilized.

Bondi Bangs!

Bondi Bangs!

Christina should NOT play Eliza!

She should play Fanny Brice!

I have stated this opinion many times!

X-Tina = Fanny!

Beulah Bondi however, would be my ideal in the part of "the staircase" in My Fair Lady!!

She ROCKS!!!

WEll I'm not saying I'm for or against this, but Iw as just reading some old Kristin Chenoweth interviews (from late'03 and early '04) and she mentions a few times that she would love to put her own spin on Eliza and she wished that she would be given the chance soon "before she gets too old"...I beleive this was before any talks of an actual revival were mentioned....anywho, just some extra info!

Am I the only person Lacey Chabert annoys the hell out of? I don't like her singing voice at all. It's incredibly pinched and irritates me. (She's also played little Cosette on Broadway before her Party of 5 stint... still say she's annoying...)
