My Fair Lady [CANCELLED] at Thelma Gaylord PAC

Director Bartlett Sher's last spectacular revival at this address was The King and I, which is preparing to transfer to the London Palladium. He is now helming a Rolls Royce production of My Fair Lady, in Broadway's fourth revival of the title since the original production. It positively glows with class, shimmering with confidence and teeming with delight. But Sher also keeps the musical’s pertinent astringency, as it shows how Professor Henry Higgins – a stubborn mule of a confirmed bachelor linguist who treats Eliza Doolittle as little more than a project to be manipulated and re-trained – is wrong-footed when she eventually melts his own surprised heart. British actor Harry Hadden-Paton brings a nicely youthful yet appropriately flummoxed air to the role, and in what appears to be his first musical, carries the songs with true conviction, too. And what better venue than the breathtaking Thelma Gaylord at Civic Center Music Hall in Oklahoma City to host this eagerly anticipated musical?!
