Hello, hello! I am so excited, I have tickets to My Fair Lady tomorrow afternoon! How has Lauren Ambrose's attendance been? I haven't heard that she doesn't do matinees or anything, so, I'm hoping and praying for the best! :)
She's a great actor with a great voice - look her up on Youtube. Sure, she's not a huge name, but I'd definitely go just to see her. I was bummed about the FG debacle.
Viola and Oprah are too old for the role (I know, I hate to say that - I mean, look at Glenn Close in SB).
I'd love to see it off-broadway, where it started, at the Public. Erika Alexander is an extraordinary actress who can carry a tune - she's not really a big "name," but she'd do it justice, in my humble opinion.
When I saw it, I went to the stage door but no one was there. Not a single fan, just a guy who worked there who said, "You can wait, but I think everyone left." It was a weird vibe, so I didn't wait it out.
