Get an inside look at the making of My Fair Lady at NMSU Theatre Arts Department!

My Fair Lady opens 4.26.19. The show features book and lyrics by Alan Jay Lerner, music by Frederick Loewe, and is directed by Larissa Lury. Musical direction is by Christa Fredrickson.

When Eliza Doolittle, a flower-seller on the streets of London, overhears phoneticist Henry Higgins joke that he could - by changing the way she speaks - turn her from a "guttersnipe" into a lady, she takes him up on the offer and approaches him for speech lessons. What ensues is a bet between Higgins and linguist Colonel Pickering, with Eliza as its pawn. The classic and beloved Lerner and Loewe musical, adapted from Shaw's Pygmalion, first opened on Broadway in 1956. The gorgeous music still charms us, the characters still move us, and the cultural puzz! le it weaves continues to engage us.
