It's a very difficult role to play. It requires a true soprano. The actress must be able to move from rough, tumble flower girl to refined lady. Chenoweth is too precious for the role.

Laura Michelele Kelly would be great, but then she will be known as the Julie Andrews modern day stage show impersonator...

No half-measures here. Whoever plays Eliza needs to have a really good soprano.

Didn't Mellissa Errico play it opposite Richard Chamberlin?

[muscle23ftl]

Posted: 3/2/05 at 2:21pm

"Didn't Mellissa Errico play it opposite Richard Chamberlin?"

She tried but she couldn't sing it. Plus she was too porcelain in the role.

I'm with DAWG - we saw Ms. Benanti in A Little Night Music last year, and I could definitely see her pulling off Eliza.

Linzi Hately, on stage; but in a film, she's too old.

The first person that says Emmy Rossum is gonna get a whack upside the head!! You have been warned.

I also wouldn't mind Colin Firth having a try at Henry.
