Lord Lloyd Webber has cancelled the new production of My Fair Lady staring Sarah Montague which had been in production for two months.
A spokesman for his company said that Ms. Montague was having trouble with her elocution. 'She was fine on the cockney stuff,' the spokesman said. 'Her 'eows' and 'garns' were very natural, but she could not handle the transformation into speaking properly.'
However all is not lost for Sarah's hopes of starring in the West End. The impresario Cameron Mackintosh, who heard her forced laughs on the Today programme, has offered he a staring role in a new production of Sweeny Todd.
