O’Hara Might Dance All Night?

In this weekends Parade magazine Kelli O'Hara tells reporter Kevin Sessums that if she were offered the role of Eliza Doolittle in My Fair Lady she'd take it, even if it meant postponing having a family. This might be fortuitous timing for O'Hara, since word around the rialto is that producers are contemplating a Broadway revival helmed by O'Hara.

O'Hara previously played Eliza Doolittle in March of 2007 in the New York Philharmonics concert version of My Fair Lady co-starring Kelsey Grammer.

My Fair Lady is based on George Bernard Shaw's "Pygmalion" with book and lyrics by Alan Jay Lerner and music by Frederick Loewe. The show premiered on Broadway in 1956 starring Julie Andrews as 'Eliza' and was later made into a film starring Audrey Hepburn. It has been revived on Broadway in 1976, 1981, and 1993.

Kelli O'Hara was nominated for a TONY for her current role as Nellie Forbush in South Pacific. She was also TONY nominated for The Pajama Game opposite Harry Connick Jr. (Tony, Drama Desk, OCC nominations) and The Light in the Piazza (Tony and OCC nominations). Other Broadway credits include Sweet Smell of Success opposite John Lithgow, Sondheim's Follies, Dracula, and Jekyll & Hyde. She recently released her first album Wonder in the World on Ghostlight Records.
