"I'm not sure I'm quite as convinced regarding Ms. O'Hara. There just aren't enough roles out there that play to her talents as a legitimately trained singer, and for sure not all that many of them are worth reviving. She could no doubt sing the heck out of My Fair Lady, but I don't think she would inhabit the role well, acting wise."
She inhabited the role extremely well -- accents and all! -- when she played it in the concert version of MFL that was done some years ago by the New York Philharmonic, with Kelsey Grammer as an excellent Higgins. I'm going to have to find out if there is any video or audio record of that performance (at the Lincoln Center LIbrary!), because it was quite wonderful. (For the record, as I remember, only a small amount of dialogue was included in the performance, but whatever was there, Kelli and everyone else handled beautifully.) |
