The Garland Summer Musicals opens its 36th season June 15 with Lerner and Loewe’s brilliant musical masterpiece My Fair Lady! under the helm of former Broadway performer Michael Serrecchia.
The production features a modern twist on George Bernard Shaw’s Pygmalion, as Eliza Doolittle takes speech lessons from Professor Henry Higgins in hopes that she will someday pass as a lady. Frequently called “the perfect musical,” My Fair Lady has stood the test of time as one of Broadway’s most beloved productions.
