My Fair Lady

Sat 23 Nov 2024 - Sat 4 Jan 2025

Synopsis

‘A Loverly Made at Curve Christmas Musical’

2024’s smashing, positively dashing Made at Curve Christmas musical is Lerner and Loewe’s classic rags to riches tale, MY FAIR LADY.

A beautiful musical adaptation of George Bernard Shaw’s 1913 play PYGMALION, MY FAIR LADY was first performed on Broadway in 1956 starring Julie Andrews and adapted into a 1964 Oscar-winning film starring Audrey Hepburn. This brand-new production will be directed by Curve Artistic Director Nikolai Foster (EVITA, THE WIZARD OF OZ, BILLY ELLIOT THE MUSICAL).

MY FAIR LADY follows Eliza Doolittle, a cockney flower seller in Covent Garden, who by chance meets phonetics professor, Henry Higgins. As part of a wager with a fellow phonetician, Higgins sets out to teach Eliza how to speak like a lady of high society – but learns a few lessons of his own along the way.

Filled with comedy, romance, and dazzling songs such as The Rain in Spain, Wouldn’t It Be Loverly and I Could Have Danced All Night, this unmissable production is set to be a charming Christmas treat.

This production of MY FAIR LADY is sponsored by De Montfort University (DMU), with the show’s orchestra sponsored by music licensing company PPL.

Running time: 2 hours and 35 minutes (including a 20 minute interval)
