Now that's impressive replacement casting.

This is wonderful, wonderful casting! I feared she had retired from acting after withdrawing from THE FRONT PAGE last year.

I'm willing to overlook the fact that in 1875, Henry's mother gave birth at age 54... :)

Whoa! That's quite a coup. I think whatever age they deducted from Henry Higgins for this production, they certainly added it to Mrs. Higgins.

Dear Ms. Harris: if your caller ID says "M. Riedel" press "ignore."

I saw Rex Harrison's 1981 MFL production with 93-year-old Cathleen Nesbitt as Mrs. Higgins. Her entrance applause was impressive.

LOL!

This is great news. I might have to squeeze another performance of My Fair Lady into my budget for the fall.

Anyone know if MFL has been at the TKTS booth at all, aside from the July 4th week? (I know it hasn't been on TDF)

It's there pretty much every time I check the app lately - currently it's at 40% off for tonight.

And to think I was sad that I wasn't going to see Rigg.


A legend, that's perfect!
