BWW Review: MY FAIR LADY at Rochester Broadway Theatre League
by Colin Fleming-Stumpf - Feb 23, 2022
'My Fair Lady' is a story that has become ingrained into American storytelling in countless iterations over the past 60 years.

It opened Tuesday at Rochester's Auditorium Theatre.

This revival, nominated for 10 Tony Awards and directed by award winning director Bartlett Sher is a beautiful looking opportunity to experience one of musical theatre's greatest chestnuts.
