My Fair Lady: Difference between revisions

Line 51:

* [[Dances and Balls]]: The Embassy Ball.

* [[Dark Reprise|Dark(er) Reprise]]: "Just You Wait" gets a reprise shortly after "You Did It". This time, [[It's Personal]].

* [[Dawson Casting]]: Audrey Hepburn was in her mid-thirties when she played the 21-year-old Eliza in the film adaptation.

** The life of an apparently quite poor flower girl in those days probably would have aged the character of Eliza beyond her years; in this case, [[Dawson Casting]] may have been justified.

*** Furthermore, Audrey Hepburn has always looked younger than she actually was.

* [[Deconfirmed Bachelor]]: Henry Higgins embodies this trope, having said 'So here I am, a confirmed old bachelor and likely to remain so' and so much more. The only hang up is that he can actually be considered deconfirmed by the end-- though most people agree he had at least befriended and came to care about Eliza by the end-- and since he is such an extreme case that he'd never even had a female friend before, by his own admission, this could still be enough of an about face to qualify him.

* [[Did Not Do the Research]]: Henry Higgins REALLY should have known that, when referring to the form of execution, it's hanged, not hung.
