Funny enough, I was wondering about colour-blind casting last night too. I don't see it would be an issue. There were certainly black people in all classes in London at the time the show was set. That we whitewashed them out of history books so the fact wasn't recognised is the actual issue at stake, I feel. *We* didn't whitewash them out. Some people previously alive did that. Only feel guilty for the things *you* have done. |

Maybe they could tempt Martine McCutcheon to reprise her role.
Someone the many times I have seen her perform, struck me would make the perfect Eliza and that would be Laura Pitt-Pulford.

There’s no way I can imagine her being able to sing it properly. Act it, maybe but that’s not good enough on its own. I guess casting Smith wouldn't be much different than casting Ambrose, who's more an actress than a singer as well. Plus not being able to sing the Funny Girl score didn't prevent her from being cast. Ambrose can actually sing MFL's score though |

The general "we," what else. Oh don’t spoil it Monks. I had you pegged as a time travelling simian, oppressing people through the ages wherever your time machine dropped you. 😂 |
