MY FAIR LADY (2018) Reviews  May 8 2018, 11:00:54 PM

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! 

 



Official 2018 TONY Nominations Thread  May 1 2018, 10:02:42 AM

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.

Charles Isherwood brings his quite positive review.

2018 Drama Desk Nominations & Awards  Apr 26 2018, 02:49:48 PM

No Ambrose, Butz, Yeargan, and Holder nominations for My Fair Lady? These awards are wack!



Broadway Grosses: Week Ending 4/22/18  Apr 23 2018, 03:40:45 PM

Nice to see My Fair Lady doing quite well with 100% capacity. 



The Next Great Broadway Revival  Apr 23 2018, 03:33:48 PM

Bartlett Sher should do a LCT revival of Camleot, that show hasn't been revived for lord knows how long.

Kenneth Branagh as King Arthur

Sierra Boggess as Guinevere 

Jordan Donica as Lancelot

NY1's review was nice. Also I'm seeing through these recent reviews, that they are more raves coming in so I would say that this revival is better recieved than Bartlett Sher's Fiddler on the Roof revival (which I really liked) which did great pretty good reviews, but no where close to the postive-rave reviews South PacificThe King and I and My Fair Lady got. Correct me if I'm wrong on that.



CAROUSEL (2018) Reviews  Apr 22 2018, 08:15:50 PM

The footage not only shows Justin Peck's choreography (which is okay at best) but it also shows the "carousel" in the opening and boy is that a huge disappointment in comparison to the 1994 production, in fact, it fits in well with the cheap sets and costumes this production partially suffers from. I sure am glad I'm seeing My Fair Lady instead of this.

SomethingPeculiar said: "Musical Master said: "The BroadwayWorld review score is in and it's an 8.7 out of 10;the same rating as Once on this Island and in a sense of irony,it's the same rating The King and I2015 was."

Pardon my ignorance -- what's the BroadwayWorld review score?
"

If you go to "sections" and find "reviews" click on that and it will tell you all you need to know. Basically

The BroadwayWorld review score is in and it's an 8.7 out of 10; the same rating as Once on this Island and in a sense of irony, it's the same rating The King and I 2015 was.



MY FAIR LADY (2018) Reviews  Apr 20 2018, 02:09:44 AM

Personally, I think the Tony might go to either My Fair Lady or Once on this Island based on the reviews.



MY FAIR LADY (2018) Reviews  Apr 19 2018, 10:47:18 PM

TalkinBroadway is a RAVE.

MY FAIR LADY (2018) Reviews  Apr 19 2018, 10:21:51 PM

TheaterMania's quote gives me a big bucket of joy:

"This My Fair Lady is a revival for the ages, the perfect synthesis of director's vision and performers and designers working completely in sync. I could have watched it all night and still have begged for more."



MY FAIR LADY (2018) Reviews  Apr 19 2018, 10:03:24 PM

Hurrah for that wonderful RAVE from Jesse Green of NYT. Overall I'd say that this revival is better received than the polarizing Carousel; in fact there's only one mixed to negative review to find so that's a really good sign that this revival and Once on this Island will be the two major musical revivals to fight for the Tony.



MY FAIR LADY (2018) Reviews  Apr 19 2018, 08:37:23 PM

That's so great to know, especially given how harsh he was towards Hello, Dolly! last year.



MY FAIR LADY (2018) Reviews  Apr 19 2018, 08:26:54 PM

Chris Jones always rubbed me the wrong way, not as much as Matthew Murray of TalkinBroadway did, but comes close.



MY FAIR LADY (2018) Reviews  Apr 19 2018, 08:22:25 PM

Chicago Tribune is mixed to negative.

MY FAIR LADY (2018) Reviews  Apr 19 2018, 06:18:31 PM

I think the reviews will range from very positive to flat out raves. So excited to read them!



MY FAIR LADY (2018) Previews  Apr 19 2018, 06:12:26 PM

GeorgeandDot has a good point, just because they personally found Ambrose miscast as Eliza doesn't make it invalid. In fact I remember when The King and I was in previews back in 2015 and some found Kelli O'Hara's performance "bland" and "boring" as Anna; where I personally thought she was freaking great when I saw the show in person. 

BTW I did hear some audio (long since gone) of Lauren Ambrose as Eliza, and so far I am freaking blow

^There may be some less than enthusiastic responses on here, but so far it's seems that it's only in the minority. Whereas those who have seen it have been either extremely positive or flat out RAVES. I'm also excited for tomorrow night's reviews, and I'll bet that they are going to be both positive and raves that's comparable to the reviews that Once on this Island had.
