John W. Engeman Theater at Northport Presents MY FAIR LADY 9/16

My Fair Lady at the John W. Engeman Theater at Northport OPENING NIGHT - SEPTEMBER 16, 2010. Winner of six Tony Awards including Best Musical

This musical interpretation of George Bernard Shaw's classic Pygmalion revolves around the uneducated Eliza Doolittle, a Cockney flower girl with a dreadful English accent. Eliza becomes the center of a bet between the worldly linguist, Colonel Pickering, and the self-absorbed phoneticist, Mr. Henry Higgins. Pickering wagers that Higgins cannot make good on a claim to teach Eliza to speak and act like a proper lady. With that, an intensive make over of Eliza's speech, manners and dress begins in preparation for a final test in which she is required to pass as a lady at the Embassy Ball. It is an unlikely love story featuring such classic songs as Wouldn't It be Loverly, I Could Have Danced All Night, The Rain In Spain, and On The Street Where You Live.
