Tickets are now available for purchase for Iowa City Community Theatre's (ICCT) production of Lerner & Loewe's My Fair Lady in Concert at The Englert Theatre Box Office. It will be presented at The Englert Theatre January 7 and 8, 2011, at 7:30pm.

Directed by Josh Sazon with music direction by Professor Emeritus Ed Kottick of the University of Iowa School of Music, the production will be a staged reading similar to the well-received concert performance of South Pacific this past August. The cast features John Muriello, voice faculty at the University of Iowa School of Music as Alfie Doolittle, and veteran community theatre performer Megan Sands as Eliza Doolittle. Principals include:

Eliza Doolittle-Megan Keiser

Henry Higgins-Josh Sazon

Alfred Doolittle-John Muriello

Like South Pacific in Concert, the dialogue of My Fair Lady will be pared down and sets and costuming minimal, creating a more streamlined presentation of the beloved story of one woman's transformation from Tottenham Court Road flower vendor to proper lady. It is being presented in addition to ICCT's regular season.
