srah on Broadway
I saw My Fair Lady last night at the Croswell Opera House in Adrian. It was okay, except the orchestra STANK as usual (if anyone in charge of decision-making is out there, either raise some money to hire professional musicians or get some canned music, because this crap really takes away from the rest of the performance) and no one could handle any accent. I think that's the most important part of My Fair Lady. If Eliza doesn't have a convincing Cockney accent, Freddy doesn't sound upper-class enough, Alfie Doolittle has a southern-US accent and even Henry Higgins can't talk properly, we have a problem.
I should be an actress, just because I can do accents. The part of Henry Higgins doesn't require any singing per se, so I'll take that one on. Of course, I might get some giggles from the audience when I'm wondering "Why can't a woman... be more like me?"
