My Fair Lady
One of the best loved musicals of all time, My Fair Lady, is brought to life in this spectacular new production.
British film star, Richard E. Grant, in his international music theatre debut, joins rising star Taryn Fiebig, to play what are undoubtedly two of the most memorable roles in music theatre history.
The star-studded cast also includes John Wood (Blue Heelers), Nancye Hayes, Rhys McConnochie, Matthew Robinson and Adele Johnston. Be transported to the lively heart of London in this timeless tale of the making of a lady. Featuring a delightful mix of comedy and romance, lavish sets and extravagant costumes, its filled with all your favourite Broadway hits, so youre guaranteed a truly loverly night out.
For Henry Higgins, professor of linguistics and confirmed misogynist, transforming a street urchin into a lady is a trivial task, done to honour a bet with his friend Colonel Pickering. Until, of course, he meets the proud little cockney, Eliza Doolittle, and finds that his raw material might not be so easy to mould. Lerner and Loewe's exuberant adaptation of George Bernard Shaw's Pygmalion was always destined to be a smash hit. The irascible Henry Higgins, the irresistible Eliza Doolittle, and the glorious succession of show-stopping numbers from I could have danced all night to Get me to the church on time propelled this classic story into Broadway history.
