Morning Docket: 06.23.08
*Might we soon see a Broadway revival of MY FAIR LADY starring Kelli O'Hara, who played Eliza to great acclaim last year at a semi-staged New York Philharmonic production? O'Hara told Parade magazine that if she were offered the role, she would be willing to postpone starting a family, and also hinted that Broadway producers were looking to build a production around her. Obviously, this will not be the Trevor Nunn-Cameron Macintosh production that toured the US this year.
*In a big blow to the regional theater movement, Minneapolis' Theatre de la Jeune Lune will shutter due to debt. Might a White Knight come and save the day, or is this Tony Award-winning company doomed to history?
*Bill T. Jones, the Tony-winning choreographer of SPRING AWAKENING, will direct and choreograph FELA!, a musical based about Nigerian musician and activist Fela Anikulapo-Kuti next month at 37 Arts.
