Synopsis
‘A Loverly Made at Curve Christmas Musical’
2024’s smashing, positively dashing Made at Curve Christmas musical is Lerner and Loewe’s classic rags to riches tale, MY FAIR LADY.
A beautiful musical adaptation of George Bernard Shaw’s 1913 play PYGMALION, MY FAIR LADY was first performed on Broadway in 1956 starring Julie Andrews and adapted into a 1964 Oscar-winning film starring Audrey Hepburn. This brand-new production will be directed by Curve Artistic Director Nikolai Foster (EVITA, THE WIZARD OF OZ, BILLY ELLIOT THE MUSICAL).
MY FAIR LADY follows Eliza Doolittle, a cockney flower seller in Covent Garden, who by chance meets phonetics professor, Henry Higgins. As part of a wager with a fellow phonetician, Higgins sets out to teach Eliza how to speak like a lady of high society – but learns a few lessons of his own along the way.
Filled with comedy, romance, and dazzling songs such as The Rain in Spain, Wouldn’t It Be Loverly and I Could Have Danced All Night, this unmissable production is set to be a charming Christmas treat.
This production of MY FAIR LADY is sponsored by De Montfort University (DMU), with the show’s orchestra sponsored by music licensing company PPL.
