Very excited for Metcalf, but Gough is the first Harper who I thought nailed all aspects of the character.

Ambrose sounded amazing. Funny to think her vocals were criticized on here during early previews.

This MFL medley is way too rushed.

I think the MFL was as good as it could be considering the medley format. Sher needs to realize the best performance would be to just pick one song and stick with it.

Definitely rushed. I would've preferred the full Danced All Night.

Aren't those pink dresses the same ones the girls doing the jump splits in Gigi wore? Were those dresses reused?

MY FAIR LADY just showed everyone how a medley is supposed to be done.
A Chorus Line revival played its final Broadway performance on August 17, 2008. The tour played its final performance on August 21, 2011. A new non-equity tour started in October 2012 played its final performance on March 23, 2013. Another non-equity tour launched on January 20, 2018. The tour ended its US run in Kansas City and then toured throughout Japan August & September 2018.

That was a fantastic performance by the company of My Fair Lady, all this 'it was rushed' nonsense, they have a few minutes to showcase the show, that did it perfectly.
Namo i love u but we get it already....you don't like Madonna

Unlike Mean Girls, the MFL  production will sell lots of tickets. And Ambrose sounds that good in person, having seen this a week ago. I was surprised, but her voice was lustrous.

Glad I wasn't the only one that found that Mean Girls performance lacking. I thought it was me being stupid because I cringed hearing Regina George. I found the show to be overpriced to start and after the tonys it will be worse. That performance killed any thought I had of maybe seeing it.

Laurie was a surprise but a good one! Amy is so eye roll worthy

I know this sounds crazy, but was Ambrose lip syncing?

They should have done Rain in Spain/Danced All Night. That would have been perfect.

I was also thinking either the audio was off or Ambrose was lip-syncing.

Oh I loved everything about the my fair lady performance! My favorite musical of the season. Lauren Ambrose sounded incredible and Norbert and the rest of the cast was sensational!

Me, too! I squealed with glee when I saw his big number was part of the medley. (Do I think that number really fit into NFL? Not necessarily, but I loved it, NLB never disappoints.)
