Henry Higgins, Eliza Doolittle and the rest of the iconic characters from MY FAIR LADY will transform The Morrison Center to 1912 London in this Broadway classic. Hailed as the standard by which all other musicals are judged, Fred Meyer Broadway In Boise brings this interNational Treasure, upon which the classic 1964 Audrey Hepburn movie was based, to the Morrison Center on January 3 - 5, 2012.

Based on George Bernard Shaw's 1912 play Pygmalion, MY FAIR LADY will transport audiences to Edwardian London and one of the most beautiful stories ever told about language and clash of cultures. It follows the relationship between Eliza Doolittle, a Cockney flower girl, and the snobbish and misogynistic Professor Henry Higgins, a phoneticist, who wagers that he can turn Eliza into a "proper lady" in three months' time. Those who experience MY FAIR LADY will be enchanted by this tale of triumph of the human spirit, as well as the love story that emerges between two unlikely heroes, ultimately joined together by their fascination with the English language.

When the show first opened on Broadway in 1956, starring Rex Harrison and Julie Andrews, critics described it as "legendary" and "one of the greatest musicals of the century." MY FAIR LADY went on to win six TONY Awards, and, in 1961, became the longest-running production in Broadway history at that time.

MY FAIR LADY features book and lyrics by Alan Jay Lerner and music by Frederick Loewe, and includes the classic songs "The Rain in Spain," "Wouldn't It Be Loverly" and "Get Me To The Church On Time." Often called "the perfect musical," MY FAIR LADY is an unforgettable experience with beautiful music and exquisite costumes that will remind theatre-goers as to why musical theater was born.

The 2011-2012 National Tour of MY FAIR LADY features Aurora Florence as Eliza Doolittle; Chris Carsten as Henry Higgins; Joyce Bohus as Mrs. Higgins; Daniel Cardenes as Freddy Eynsford-Hill; Richard Springle as Colonel Pickering; and Arthur Wise as Alfred P. Doolittle.
