Joining the show starting its third year as Eliza Doolittle, after the previous two actresses had both received Best Actress Oliviers for the part was never going to be easy, yet the only surprise was that Laura did not pick up the third consecutive award herself. Enthusiastic reviews for Lauras portrayal of Eliza followed her first night and it was the greatest shame when, one balmy August evening, this West End gem with its finest cast performed its last night; leaving the West End lacking one of its greatest shows and the finest performance of "I Could Have Danced All Night" there will ever be.
