Tickets are on sale for “My Fair Lady,” coming to Cortland Repertory Theatre from Wednesday to June 14.
Eliza Doolittle is a young flower seller with an unmistakable Cockney accent that keeps her in the lower rungs of Edwardian society. When Professor Henry Higgins tries to teach her how to speak like “a proper lady,” an unlikely friendship begins to flourish.
The 1956 original Broadway production, adapted from George Bernard Shaw’s “Pygmalion,” starred Julie Andrews and Rex Harrison, won six Tony Awards including Best Musical, and ran for 2,717 performances making it, at the time, the longest-running musical in Broadway history.
