“Wouldn’t It Be Loverly” to see My Fair Lady live and in person? This charming story first hit the stage way back in the year 1956, and was such a huge success it was made into a film starring the beloved Audrey Hepburn (though many still say the role was robbed from Julie Andrews). In 1956, the play won some impressive awards including Best Musical and Best Performance by a Lead Actor. The Broadway and London revivals since then have never been short of awards themselves. Critics always rave over this production for its beautiful numbers, so isn’t it time to see it all over again? “With a Little Bit of Luck”, perhaps, you’ll make it to the show!

The basic story is that of a flower girl named Eliza Doolittle, who is longing to be a genteel lady, and a haughty professor of speech who says he can make her just that. His name is Henry Higgins and he’s joined by a kindly linguist Colonel Pickering, who rises to the challenge. What ensues from there is pure fun for the eyes and the ears of the audience, as favorites such as “I Could Have Danced All Night” and “On the Street Where You Live” are belted out live. Will Higgins be able to transform this guttersnipe into a well-spoken lady? You will have to watch the play to find out of course!

You can catch the play currently on the Non-Equity 2011-2012 North American Tour being put on by Big League Productions. Aurora Florence will be playing Eliza Doolittle, with Gary Kimble currently in the role of Henry Higgins. Will it live up to the hype of all the plays that have come before it? The audiences will be the judge of that, but it looks to have great potential according to the latest critics.

You may quickly find that you too have “Grown Accustomed to Her Face” and you may just need to see the show again and again! Find out when the production will be in a city near you and see the musical “by which all other musicals are measured.”
