This classic musical composed by Fredrick Loewe with lyrics by Alan Jay Lerner opened on Boadway on March 15, 1956 and was the longest running Broadway musical of its time. The original cast production, including Rex Harrison and Julie Andrews, went on to win 6 Tony Awards in 1957 including Best Musical. Since then MY FAIR LADY has been revived, won numerous more awards, and has been made into a famous motion picture.
Henry Higgins made a bet that if he could get Eliza Doolittle, a poor girl who sells flowers, to speak the English language properly, she would fit into the higher class. She messes up on her first trip to the Ascot races (although she does catch the attention of Freddy), and when she goes to the Embassy Ball, she does so well that a speech professor proclaims her to be a Hungarian princess.
Don't miss this fantastic classic that has not been seen at MSMT for 15 years!
