A chance meeting between two noted British linguists, Professor Henry Higgins and Col. Hugh Pickering, leads to a wager that will test Higgins’ skills. After they hear a Cockney flower girl caterwaul in the street, Higgins is sure he can transform the girl, Eliza Doolittle, into a refined Victorian lady with an aristocratic accent.
Directed by Danny Price and produced by Suzanne Clonts, the musical has been a Broadway sensation as well as a popular film starring Rex Harrison and Audrey Hepburn.
The show includes such memorable musical numbers as “Why Can’t the English?” “The Rain in Spain,” “Wouldn’t It Be Loverly” and the showstopping “I Could Have Danced All Night.”
The music and spectacle of “My Fair Lady” comes to the DeSoto stage March 19, 20, 21 and March 26, 27 and 28.
Friday and Saturday shows begin at 8 p.m. Sunday shows begin at 2:30 p.m.
Tickets are $14 for adults and $12 for students and senior adults.
