Barter Theatre to Present MY FAIR LADY

By:

Get ready to fall in love with Eliza Doolittle all over again at Barter Theatre. "My Fair Lady" is now playing on Barter's Main Stage. Based on George Bernard Shaw's "Pygmalion," it is hailed as "the perfect musical" and one of the greatest musicals of all time.

"My Fair Lady" is the timeless story of Professor Henry Higgins, the arrogant, middle-aged bachelor and phonetician and Eliza Doolittle, the Cockney flower girl, who becomes part of his experiment in order to transform herself into a "lady."

Starring Rick McVey (Javert, "LES MISERABLES") as Henry Higgins, and Holly Williams (Jane, "Tarzan") as Eliza Doolittle, the show has a total of 15 professional actors/dancers (both fresh and familiar faces) to bring the story to life.

The score features Broadway hits including: "I Could Have Danced All Night," "Get Me to the Church on Time," "Wouldn't it Be Loverly," "The Rain in Spain" and "I've Grown Accustomed to Her Face."

"My Fair Lady" is directed by John R. Briggs ("Kiss Me, Kate") and choreographed by Amanda Aldridge ("The Wizard of Oz"); music director is Lee Harris ("The Wizard of Oz").

Tickets for "My Fair Lady" are priced from $22-41, ask about discounts for seniors, students, military and AAA. Half price tickets can be purchased in person on day of show after 11:00am, ask for the Barter Break. Performances are running now through November 15th. For tickets and information call 276.628.3991 or visit www.bartertheatre.com.

"My Fair Lady" is made possible by corporate sponsors BVU Authority and Highlands Union Bank, and by media partners GoTriCities Magazine, abc19 and Lamar Advertising.

Barter Theatre is funded in part by the National Endowment for the Arts and the Virginia Commission for the Arts.
