During the actual play--there is a lot going on during that song. Must be just for a special. The ones I have seen have had the subtitles---maybe so people can sing along.

Sure, Elle. Who doesn't love a rags-to-riches story, an Eliza Doolittle, a Pocketful of Miracles?
She's presented to us as a naive, but, a listen to her sultry "Cry Me a River" belies that. Again, my cynical side says the producers chose her to be the next "it". And it worked.
It's both real and contrived.

What makes me wonder is how the camera happens to capture audience members' eyes rolling at just the right moment. Do they have a million cameras, or was that just extreme serendipity, or what?
But in any case, as Elle says, it works as a good story, regardless of the background. People like Slumdog Millionaire even though it's not a documentary, so ...
