Eliza Doolittle in My Fair Lady Revival
So Clive Davis has talked about wanting to launch a revival of My Fair Lady on Broadway and he says his first choice for Eliza is Anne Hathaway. I hate to keep linking these two actresses together but I would pick Emmy before Anne. She played young Audrey Hepburn, sang at the Met as a child, and did Phantom. I think that makes her a little more qualified than Anne, who I only think is getting all the hype right now (very justifiably) because of LesMiz. Roger Ebert even said of Emmy in his review of Phantom "What an Eliza Doolittle she might make." I hope Emmy is at least taken into consideration and lobbies for the part herself.
