Lerner & Loewe's MY FAIR LADY became an instant Broadway classic in 1956 and what many call the “perfect musical.”
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,”
The production will star Paul Alexander Nolan (Bright Star/Drama Desk nominee, Doctor Zhivago/Outer Critics Circle nominee, Once, Jesus Christ Superstar, Daddy Long Legs) as Professor Henry Higgins and Kelli Barrett (Doctor Zhivago, Wicked, Rock of Ages) as Eliza Doolittle.
Also starring will be Tony nominee Howard McGillin (The Phantom of the Opera, Gigi, Anything Goes, and featured in Bay Street's Grey Gardens last season) as Colonel Pickering; Tony Award-winner Carole Shelley (The Elephant Man, Billy Elliott: The Musical, Wicked, The Odd Couple) as Mrs. Higgins
