Going Beyond the Script<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

My Fair Lady<\/a><\/i> Backdrops<\/a> and Scenery Perspectives<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

All I want is a stage somewhere\u2026 playing one this author\u2019s favorite musicals of all time! And that\u2019s hardly a lonely sentiment; My Fair Lady <\/em>is always a crowd-pleaser. The musical <\/em>is based on the novel Pygmalion<\/em> by George Bernard Shaw and is arguably one of musical legends Lerner and Lowe\u2019s crowning achievements. The show is currently enjoying an immensely successful, Tony-award-winning revival at the Vivian Beaumont Theatre in New York City. However, it already boasts six decades-worth of awards garnered worldwide. This Broadway favorite <\/em>isn\u2019t showing any sign of stopping yet!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My Fair Lady<\/em> follows Eliza Doolittle, a low-born girl who ekes out a living selling flowers on the streets of London. Liza is trapped by poverty and her painfully thick Cockney accent. When she crosses paths with famed (and insufferably egotistical) phoneticist Henry Higgins, he brags to his rich, well-bred friends that his talents in elocution are so phenomenal that he could transform Eliza into royalty within 6 months. What follows is a test of wills that\u2019s as ferocious as it is entertaining, for Higgins has met his match in the indomitable Eliza. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

TheatreWorld’s My Fair Lady<\/em> Backdrops<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Graced with an unforgettable, soaring score and interlaced with drama, intrigue, romance, and humor, this show is an absolute gem. It also has a small cast and a relatively sparse number of scene changes, making My Fair Lady<\/em> very accessible for community, regional, or school theatres. Naturally, TheatreWorld has a host of backdrops just right for this show, so let\u2019s go on a walk through Edwardian London!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
