A chance meeting between two noted British linguists, Prof. 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 proposes to transform the girl, Eliza Doolittle, into a refined Victorian lady with an aristocratic accent. After some hesitation Eliza agrees to become their test case.
Based on George Bernard Shaw's play and Pascal's movie "Pygmalion," with book, music and lyrics by Lerner and Loewe, MY FAIR LADY includes well-known songs like "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", so it's no wonder everyone-not just Henry Higgins-falls in love with Eliza Doolittle.
MY FAIR LADY will run from Feb. 24th thru Mar. 11th. Performances on Thursday, Friday, & Saturday @ 7:30pm and Sunday matinees @ 2:00pm. Tickets are $21/adult and $18/seniors & students. Call the Center at 407-846-6257 x0 or go online to purchase tix at
