MY FAIR LADY Comes To Morris Performing Arts Center

Henry Higgins, Eliza Doolittle and the rest of the iconic characters from MY FAIR LADY will transform the Morris Performing Arts Center into 1912 London in this Broadway classic.

Tickets for MY FAIR LADY start at $36.75 and are available online at www.theaterleague.com, the Morris Performing Arts Center box office, or by calling 574.235.9190.

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. MY FAIR LADY went on to win six TONY Awards. And, in 1961, MY FAIR LADY 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 why musical theater was born.
