| I think people rather mistakenly think it's a high-range singing role. It's not. There are exactly 3 high G's - on the words "all", "night", and "now." The songs in general are essentially midrange. But, the temptation to want to push things on the lower end, and in the middle, especially in the gutsier songs like "Just You Wait" and "Show Me," may take some toll. (That lower middle place where most of "Show Me" lies, for instance, is not usually a soprano's wheelhouse, and even with miking, they may feel the need to push to get the dramatic tone right.) That plus yes, I do think it's a demanding speaking role, and it's a long role. So I think learning how to pace the evening is crucial. | |

| Aside from the rigors of the role, there are also the rigors of awards season: attending parties and awards galas; doing red-carpets and press, etc. | |

| That poor woman who did the last Rex Harrison return to Bway did a whole tour and then had to drop out in Bway previews I think. | |
