My Fair Lady
Book and lyrics by Alan Jay Lerner
Music by Frederick Loewe
Tony Award for Best Musical in 1956 and Best Revival in 1981
Directed by Caitlin Lowans
Featuring Robyn Elizabeth Lee & Timothy John Smith
April 8—May 2, 2010
Based on George Bernard Shaw's Pygmalion, this Lerner & Loewe masterpiece is one of the greatest musicals of the century. When self-absorbed professor Henry Higgins wagers that he can make a proper lady out of Cockney flower girl Eliza Doolittle, Eliza and Henry both begin a transformation that neither of them could anticipate. Come hear all of your favorite songs: "I Could Have Danced All Night," "On the Street Where You Live," and "I've Grown Accustomed to Her Face."
"The perfect musical"
-David Richards, New York Times
