Shouldn't Gaylord and Julie in SHOW BOAT have Southern accents?
Posted by: RobertC (robertcollier930@gmail.com) 08:53 pm EDT 08/27/18
Gaylord introduces himself as "Gaylord Ravenal, of the Tennessee Ravenals," while Julie is introduced as "The Sweetheart of the South." Yet, in nearly all productions I've seen, they have neutral accents.

What's up with that? I mean, just sayin'.

Well Eliza Doolittle and her father should have Cockney accents. But at LCT they have accents never before heard by man or beast.

In the Harold Prince Revival, they both spoke with Southern accents.
