My Fair Lady opening at Gilbert's Hale Centre Theatre

Posted

Hale Centre Theatre begins a seven-week run Feb. 15 of the Broadway smash from 1956, "My Fair Lady."

The story centers on Eliza Doolittle, a poor Cockney flower-seller who overhears an arrogant phonetics professor, Henry Higgins, as he casually wagers that he could teach her to speak "proper" English, thereby making her presentable in the high society of Edwardian London. But Eliza proves to be a far greater challenge than the professor anticipated.

The score includes such songs as “I’m Getting Married in the Morning,” “On the Street Where You Live,” and “I Could Have Danced All Night.”

Julie Andrews starred in the original musical while Audrey Hepburn took up the lead role in the 1964 film adaptation. The musical itself was an adaptation of George Bernard Shaw's 1913 stage play, "Pygmalion."

Showtimes are 7:30 p.m. Wednesdays through Saturdays with 3 p.m. matinees Fridays and Saturdays as well as on Thursdays, Feb. 22 and 29 and March 7.

Tickets are $32-$55.

Hale Centre Theatre, 50 W. Page Ave., Gilbert. 480-497-1181. www.haletheatrearizona.com
