The 39-year-old celebrity -- famous for many because of her
hilarious impersonation of First Lady Melania Trump on The Late Show
With Stephen Colbert -- has turned to the iconic character of Eliza
Doolittle, the bad, working-class cockney flower girl who seeks the
assistance of phonetics professor Henry Higgins (Downton Abbey's
Harry Hadden-Paton) and is soon transformed into a cultured member
of high society.
From the photo, Benanti beams as she stays surrounded by flowers,
dressed in Catherine Zuber's lovely period costumes (a blue overcoat
and scarf layered over a long apparel and accessorized with gloves
along with easy black hat). It is an outfit the celebrity wears
throughout one of Alan Jay Lerner and Frederick Loewe's most iconic
tunes," Wouldn't It be Loverly?" -- the catchy song that famously
strikes off Eliza's travel near the peak of the show.
Beautiful voices, casting, sets, costumes, old universe with fresh
light on young performances of Eliza and Henry Higgins... thoroughly
enjoyed it... the score is a treasure! Lincoln Center is all about
being in the theatre in NYC, the supreme! Bring family that enjoys
the classics as well as the score and lyrics which you wind up
singing and clapping along with." I am getting married in the mornin'!"
Make a day of it, dinner, theater, it's a treat!
Excellent dinner in Bar Boulud round the road. Great theater in
Lincoln Canter, possibly the Very Best in NYC. Mezzanine seats were
rather excellent. A long first action, but accurate to the first
until the surprise next action end that brought down the house! Very
well behaved. Well sung. Exuberant production. Score and songs are
still etched in my thoughts. Decidedly better than the film, which
seems exhausted by comparison. Highly suggested.
