MY FAIR LADY
Book and Lyrics by Alan Jay Lerner Music by Frederick Loewe Based on the play Pygmalion by George Bernard Shaw & Gabriel Pascal's motion picture Directed by Michael Arden
When Eliza Doolittle, a cockney flower seller, meets the imperious and attractive Professor Henry Higgins one night in Covent Garden, they agree to embark on a daring experiment together. Higgins wagers that he can transform the “deliciously low” Eliza into a lady fit for society by teaching her to speak more beautifully. Sparks fly in what becomes a funny and ferocious battle of the sexes, a struggle of classes, and a rollicking romance. Acclaimed director Michael Arden’s innovative new production will feature two pianos and fifteen actors who will bring the classic story to life in ways you’ve never seen before. One of the greatest musicals of time, with a magnificent score featuring the beloved songs “I Could Have Danced All Night,” “Wouldn’t It be Loverly” and “On the Street Where You Live,” this Fair Lady is a perfect musical for the whole family.
