MY FAIR LADY Tony nominee Lauren Ambrose stopped by on SHOW PEOPLE WITH PAUL WONTOREK to talk about her least favorite haircut of her career, SIX FEET UNDER, FUNNY GIRL and why MY FAIR LADY feels like the perfect first fit. Here are some must-read highlights: ON THE VIVIAN BEAUMONT STAGE “I actually had no idea of the scale of it. It’s one thing to get the part and learn the part and learn the songs. Even seeing the model is all well and good. But then you actually step onto the Vivian Beaumont stage, which is city-block big. It’s ginormous. That actually quelled my nerves. I was like, ‘No matter what I do out there, I’m like an ant compared to the set.’ 80 percent of my job is done.” ON THROWING HER HAT INTO THE RING FOR MY FAIR LADY “I emailed Bart Sher and was like, ‘Bart, I would like to throw my hat into the ring. My enormous, basket hat. I’d like to throw it into the ring. If it’s possible, I’d love to come in and audition.’ And he said, ‘Alright.’” ON HER CAN'T HARDLY WAIT HAIRCUT “That movie means a lot to people. It was a big part of their growing up it seems. My only problem was the haircut they gave me for that movie. I want to find that hairdresser and just ask her, ‘What did you do to me?! Why?!’ I went in really green, and they were like, ‘We’re going to give you a really cool haircut.’ It was like they took a bowl, and put it on my head.” ON TAKING ON MY FAIR LADY AS HER FIRST MUSICAL “Having the opportunity to do this musical is an incredible honor. This feels like a great responsibility because people care so deeply about this piece. It’s woven into our culture. I feel a responsibility to Eliza and to doing my best for everybody. But I also feel like I’m in really great hands with this production. I really trust the people that I’m collaborating with. I feel like I really truly learn new things every night about this show. I can’t imagine doing anything else. My total joy in life is to get to tell stories with others in this way. There’s nothing like it. This is my first opportunity to work in this medium. It’s tricky and it’s nerve-wracking and it’s glorious.” ON HER CO-STARS “Harry Hadden-Paton is just a lovely actor and an incredible person. Allan Corduner has brought so much of his warmth to the character of Colonel Pickering. He’s such a pro and such a veteran and does things with such wit and ease. Linda Mugleston is Mrs. Pearce, and she’s amazing. Norbert Leo Butz is a master class in energy. We don’t have that much to do together. I would sneak in and watch his rehearsals of ‘Get Me to the Church on Time’ and was astounded. And look, when Dame Diana Rigg asks you if you want a glass of prosecco, you take a glass of prosecco. I feel inspired by her ease and her presence. Both Lauren and Eliza are learning from her.” ON HER TEENY-TINY ENTOURAGE “I have to be mindful of my voice and how often I use it when I’m not onstage. Fortunately, my five-year-old is learning sign language, so we practice at home. My kids know the whole score. I feel like both of them could go on for me at any minute. They know the whole backstage. They could give tours.” ON FUNNY GIRL FALLING THROUGH “They were building the sets. I had seen the costume sketches. There were posters all around Los Angeles because we were going to do an out-of-town engagement there. Obviously it was a bummer, but as an actor, really, truly, it’s easy come, easy go. These things come together and fall apart all the time. I’ve been threatening to be in a musical for what feels like hundreds of years. For whatever reason, it hasn’t worked out until now. What I actually felt sad about was that so much work had gone into designing the production thus far. There were so many people cast. The sets and the costumes were underway. Just the fact that those artists’ work wasn’t going to be realized and seen, that’s what I felt sad about. We were two weeks away from rehearsals.” ON A SIX FEET UNDER REBOOT “I remember shooting the scenes. It feels like a little bit of a document of my life. It would be fascinating [if they did a reboot]. You'd have to convince Alan Ball.” ON HER TONY AWARDS ‘WORMHOLE’ “I was Googling past Tony performances. I got myself into a wormhole that I highly recommend everybody get themselves into. Patti LuPone in Evita! Jennifer Holliday in Dreamgirls. She was like 21 years old and doing that eight show a week with some sort of titanium vocal chords. How?! How, Jennifer Holliday?!”
