Could Anne Hathaway hit Broadway With Colin Firth in 'My Fair Lady'?

Rex Harrison NOT Rex Reed, for goodness sake!

'Rex Reed'????? Yikes!!!  Doesn't anyone proofread anymore?? That's too funny to think of Rex Reed as Henry Higgins!!! LOL  I think Anne and Colin would be perfect for a Broadway revival of MFL. And Colin wouldn't have to 'talk-sing' his songs. But...would any of them want to do 8 shows a week for several months??

Alex Gil (1 hour ago)- 'Anne not pretty enough to play the part' ?? WHAT???  Do you think Julie Andrews was 'prettier' when she played Eliza on Broadway so many years ago? The actress playing Eliza doesn't HAVE to be 'drop-dead' gorgeous. Just someone who can pull off a 'makeover'. I  think Anne proved that many times over by looking amazing everytime she walked a red carpet after appearing in Les Miserables.Audrey was an amazing Eliza; one of my favorite roles in one of my favorite movies.

As for pulling off an English accent--Audrey Hepburn did it and she's not British! Meryl Streep has used many different accents in several of her roles-and believably, too!

By the way not a good match for either the male or female role.

Oh, pleeezzzeee! Allow G.B. Shaw to rest in peace and DO NOT do another "My Fair Lady." The generation that can appreciate that re-do of the ancient Pygmalion and Galatea myth is not likely to flock to theaters to see yet another version of the musical play, based on a play ("Pygmalion," by Shaw, which also became a terrific film with Leslie Howard and Wendy Hiller) based on the Greek myth ... and those younger than, say, 40, are unlikely to appreciate the relatively dull social commentary that play makes (of a culture that existed in another country, in another era). And Colin Firth -- as much as I love him -- simply can not fill Rex Harrison's shoes. Simply because Anne Hathaway looks a bit like Audrey Hepburn does not mean she has the enormous star-power and appeal Hepburn had, which enabled her to shine as Eliza, even though she could barely dance (though she was very graceful) and had her own not-bad-but limited singing voice dubbed by the incomparable Marni Nixon. Besides, Julie Andrews should have been Eliza in that film, as she had made the Broadway musical a smash ... but Julie Andrews instead won the Oscar (over Hepburn) for "Mary Poppins," so she had the last laugh. Hey, maybe we could use a remake of "Mary Poppins," with Anne Hathaway ... and Colin Firth as Bert. That way, Colin can frolic, and I'd pay money to see that!

Audrey Hepburn was beautiful and a star, Anne Hathaway is average in everything she does even if she wins the Oscar, she is not pretty enough to play  the part.
