My Fair Lady will play at Pitlochry Festival Theatre from 21 November to 31 December.
Based on George Bernard Shaw’s 1913 play Pygmalion, the tale of a flower seller who is coached to “improve” her social standing, the musical features a book and lyrics by Alan Jay Lerner and music by Frederick Loewe. It was adapted from Shaw’s play and the Gabriel Pascal motion picture Pygmalion, with the original production directed and staged by Moss Hart. The show opened on Broadway in 1956 and was later adapted into the 1964 film version, which won multiple Academy Awards.
Directed by Maria Friedman, acclaimed musical theatre performer and director and the creative force behind the Tony Award-winning revival of Merrily We Roll Along, Tony and Olivier award winning Designer Tim Hatley (Life of Pi and Back to the Future, West End and Broadway) and Tony and Olivier award winning Lighting Designer Neil Austin (Harry Potter and the Cursed Child and Paddington, Broadway and West End), the must-see production will run at Pitlochry Festival Theatre from 21 November till 31 December.
