Premierenreport: Frische Neuproduktion von MY FAIR LADY in Kiel
by Iris Moebius - Nov 9, 2015
Genau so viel Mut wie ihre Heldin Eliza bewiesen Alan Jay Lerner und Frederick Loewe 1956, als sie aus George Bernard Shaws erfolgreicher »Romanze in 5 Akten« Pygmalion ein Musical machten. Doch diese Courage zahlte sich aus - My Fair Lady wurde zu dem Musical überhaupt und stellt auch 60 Jahre nach seiner Uraufführung am Broadway noch überraschende Fragen an die Bedeutung von Bildung und Verhalten für unser Fortkommen und das Verhältnis von intellektueller und emotionaler Intelligenz für unser Zusammenleben - verpackt in einer immer noch bezaubernd ehrlichen Variante des Aschenputtel-Motivs. Das Theater Kiel inszeniert den Klassiker in dieser Spielzeit nun unter der Leitung von Ricarda Regina Ludigkeit. Die Premiere fand am vergangenen Samstag statt, und Publikum wie Presse zeigten sich gleichermaßen beeindruckt.
