So good to hear that Laura is doing great in this role and that the chemistry between her and Paton is wonderful despite just meeting each other on that day.
It's quite ironic that the Mary Poppins Returns poster is obviously influenced by the My Fair Lady film poster considering that the original Mary Poppins and My Fair Lady competed in the same Academy Awards season. Plus while Bob Gold did help with the formatting of the legendary film poster, it was actually the late great Bob Peak who did the beautiful illustration work. Peak also designed other film posters throughout his entire career, incl
The trailer was wonderful and I absolutely LOVE the Bill Gold inspired poster. I can't wait for this movie, it's in my top 5 most awaited films of this year.
That is incredibly sad to hear the passing of who I consider to be one of the best musical theater actresses working for the past decade. May she rest in peace.
That's understandable. Even though I adored Lauren Ambrose when I saw her, I can understand why the way she portrayed Eliza won't be everyone's cup of tea. I will say that she didn't seem to struggle with her singing or acting when I saw the show on May 30th, maybe it's one of those "off" days, I don't know.
I'm so glad for all the The Band's Visit love since I am part Middle-Eastern; but I am sad that My Fair Lady only won costumes where the revival should've won more than that (Michael Yeargan's sets were much better designed than David Zinn's sets were). But I am glad an equally great revival won though because Once on this Island was handled marvelously by such a great cast and crew.
It more than lived up to my expectations. This revival to me, is probably Bartlett Sher's BEST production he's ever done in his entire career! I can't imagine how he's ever going to top this master class revival.
Just got back from my NYC trip and seeing My Fair Lady yesterday (matinee). And me saying that this splendid, breathtaking, masterful revival deserves all the praise it got in the acting, direction, and design aspects and deserves to win it's Tony Awards would be absolutely redundant. RUN!!! DO. NOT, WALK!
Both my older sister and father adored this production too which made me overjoyed.
Here's a video from the creative team. And to those who think Michael Yeargan's brilliantly huge/lavish and simple/clever set designs won't win the Tony, must have not seen this production yet. This is probably the best set designs that Michael Yeargan has ever made through his entire career.
The new My Fair Lady TV spot shows some new footage of "Get Me to the Church on Time" and a good look at Lauren Ambrose in her Embassy Ball gown and it's gorgeous!
I'm delighted with all the Mean Girls, SpongeBob, Angels in America, and My Fair Lady love and having six nominees in Leading Actress in a Musical is a pretty interesting choice. But I will say that I hope next season is better when it comes to new musicals.
