By now, we have all learned who will play the leads in the Bartlett Sher helmed My Fair Lady revival at Lincoln Center this spring. I must say, I was a bit surprised and somewhat underwhelmed, if only that I had some very strong opinions about who I would like to see cast. In the end, the cast we have has certainly proven themselves, time and again, on stage and screen. Lauren Ambrose will play Eliza Doolittle, Nobert Leo Butz will be her father Alfred P. Doolittle, and Harry Haden-Paton will play the plum role of Professor Henry Higgins. Joining them, in what is perhaps the most exciting casting choice is Diana Rigg as Henry’s mother, Mrs. Higgins.
