 There are conflicting accounts of who was the first choice for the role of the itinerant prostitute, Suzy.By some accounts, Rodgers and Hammerstein attempted to get Julie Andrews, only to find that she had just signed a two-year contract to appear in a musical by Alan Jay Lerner and Frederick Loewe, tentatively titled "My Lady Liza".Andrews's role, as Eliza Doolittle in "My Fair Lady", would launch her to stardom.
