Photo Flash: MY FAIR LADY opens at Manatee Performing Arts Center Tonight

By:

This show is the standard by which all other musicals are measured. Based on George Bernard Shaw's play Pygmalion, with book, music and lyrics by Lerner and Loewe, My Fair Lady is gloriously triumphant. The tale of a cockney flower girl transformed into an elegant lady features one of musical theatre's greatest scores. Songs include "Wouldn't It Be Loverly?," "With a Little Bit of Luck," "The Rain in Spain," "I Could Have Danced All Night," "On the Street Where You Live," "Get Me to the Church on Time," and "I've Grown Accustomed to Her Face." The production is directed by Steve Dawson and Music Directed by Paul Smith. Featuring set design by Caleb Carrier, lighting design by Michael Pasquini, with costume design by Becky Evans and stage management by Tiffany Smith.

Eliza Doolittle, a rough Cockney girl, meets Colonel Pickering and Henry Higgins in Covent Garden where she's selling flowers. When Higgins remarks that he could help Eliza speak properly and raise her status in the community, Pickering challenges him to do so and Eliza takes him up on the offer. Though difficult and frustrating for both Eliza and Higgins at first, the lessons soon begin to work wonders, and produce results that neither predict. Below we have a first look at the cast in action!

Lauren Nielsen as Eliza Doolittle, Michael Bajjaly as Henry Higgins, Peter Ruscoe, Joe Hunter, Christen Manuel, Griffyn Holcomb, Linda Roeming, Melliss Kenworthy, Chloe Thomas, Madison Bradley, Amelia Woerner, Miriam Engle, Nancy Brining, Brenna Griffith, Gayle Foster, Anna Grace Robinette, Tori Greenlaw, Mark Eichorn, Joseph Eckstein, Jr, Bradley Keville, Craig Engle, Noah Roderiques, Mitchael Pearl, D.
