I picked up "My Fair Lady" yesterday at WalMart for $10. I couldn't believe this one isn't already sitting next to "Guys and Dolls" on my DVD shelf! It's one of my favorite musicals, 2nd to Evita.
While I was watching, it occurred to me how cool it would be if they remade it. I'd have Gerard Butler play Professor Higgins, Lea Michele Sarfati as Eliza Doolittle, and Josh Groban as Freddy Eynsford-Hill. I haven't decided on the rest of the cast, I'd try to sneak in Sarah Brightman, and a couple of pop icons like Gwen and Fergie too. I'm totally jazzed about something I could never do! =(
