I saw this on the 23rd. I was soo impressed by scenery and seamless scene changes by the actors! The ability of the ensemble cast who had to keep jumping in and out of different characters!! The entire cast was wonderful! I thought Eliza was charming her ability to jump in and out of her Cockney and proper English was impressive and Harry could really sing!

So there were three things that struck me while watching my fair lady- The protestors for women's suffrage in white (such a huge contrast with all of the colors), The lack of any real chemistry between Eliza and Higgins (she was infatuated, but when she sang the song about the world going on she sang it confidently rather than longingly). And the ending where she leaves. I think they purposefully reframed the whole thing so as not to fit the typical woman needs man scenario. Those were all conscious choices by the director- not accidents and turned the typical trope from decades past into a relevant message. Fantastic!

What a great performance was last night at the Arsht Center in Miami, actors, stage, orchestra, all acted as one. Thank you for bringing art to us, my husband and I had a great evening.

The ensemble was extremely talented, particularly the actress who played Eliza Doolittle and the secondary actor who sang “on the street where you live”. Great supporting voices, costumes and interesting revolving stage concept. It’s a well staged revival - with a modern twist to the ending. I was wondering how this musical which focused much on class and gender differences would be seen through a contemporary lens - the producers obviously added more diversity to the cast and a “feminist” conclusion. Clearly a modern interpretation of a very traditional and classic musical. I’d strongly recommend it to children, teens and adults who appreciate a great theater experience.

My Fair Lady at the State Theater Cleveland. Knew that there were some changes (updates?) but didn’t know the details. Expected a strong cast based on actors backgrounds and were pleased with what we saw and heard. Sound was great from where we were sitting (Main orchestra, JJ center). A long show for sure and maybe it did “drag” a bit in Act 2, pun intended?, but we really enjoyed it. We were surprised by the ending but after rewatching the movie on Netflix two days later we don’t have a problem with the change - we get it. It is ok to leave the audience guessing. Henry can get his own slippers!

The Providence Show was fantastic! Audience energy was palpable, and that is never an accident. What’s wrong with a “Classic”? Things get to be “Classics” because they’re so tremendous. So why do all the new shows tinker. There wasn’t much of that here and that was fine with me. The talent, the voices, the production, the staging, “in a minute I knew that we had easily won”. Don’t hesitate to see this. You’re going to feel so good! JT
