Marni Nixon ‹ who is perhaps best known for dubbing the vocal
performances of such film stars as Audrey Hepburn (in "My Fair Lady"),
Deborah Kerr (in "The King and I") and Natalie Wood (in "West Side
Story") ‹ will join the cast of the North American tour of My Fair Lady
when it arrives in Chicago at the Cadillac Palace Theatre.

Nixon will succeed Sally Ann Howes, who is scheduled to kick off the
tour in September, in the role of Mrs. Higgins; Nixon will continue
with the tour after Chicago.
