Broadway musical My Fair Lady is visiting in Fresno this January!

My Fair Lady Fresno Tour is presented by Big League Productions Inc. in cooperation with Broadway in Fresno. The story is based on Shaw’s play and Pascal’s movie “Pygmalion,” with music and Lyrics by Lerner and Loewe. Hit songs include:

• Wouldn’t It Be Lovely
• 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

My Fair Lady was a smash hit in 1956 and had set the record then as the longest running major musical in history. Original cast were Julie Andrews as Eliza Doolittle and Rex Harrison as Henry Higgins. It has seen several Broadway versions, along with the most famous London film starring Audrey Hepburn and Rex Harrison.

My Fair Lady is a story of how Cockney flower girl Eliza is transformed into a well-bred, well-spoken lady by Henry Higgins. This “quest” was all because of a bet between Higgins and his linguist friend Colonel Pickering, who said that Higgins cannot change Eliza’s dreadful street accent and manners in time for the Embassy Ball.

Watch My Fair Lady this January 11-12, 2011 at the William Saroyan Theatre. Tickets are available at TicketMaster.com for $30.00-$52.50 ($3.00 per ticket facility fee not included)
