WHY BOTHER WITH DIRECTOR'S NOTES AND

THANK YOUS…LET'S HEAR MORE ABOUT THE STAR!*

Obviously, the role of Henry Higgins is bigger than the show as a whole, in fact it quite frankly transcends theatre entirely.  Why even pay attention to the other actors on the stage when it is Higgins that has all the really good lines, all the really good songs, and the best dressing room.  Does it matter that the Entire Cast  worked incredibly hard for weeks so that The Show would be a success?  Does it matter that Megan Whelan and Dawn Riley spent an entire day painting for a show they weren't even in?  Or that Julie Kangas put in countless extra hours on costumes and individual singing sessions?  Or that Heidi Huckins sacrificed her room… again, and took over paint day when that feeble director took ill?  Does it matter that most of the cast are seniors completing a glorious four year career  in the performing arts at CWA?  No… this isn't about the incredible collaborative nature of the theatre, this is about one role… this is about Henry Higgins.  Enjoy!
