My Fair Lady at Chichester

Students enjoyed a 5 star performance of the classic musical, My Fair Lady at nearby Chichester Festival Theatre. With book and lyrics by Alan Jay Lerner and music by Frederick Loewe, the multi award-winning musical broke Broadway records when it opened in 1956 and was adapted into the 1964 Oscar-winning film starring Julie Andrews.   It tells the story of cockney Eliza Doolittle, who scrapes a living selling flowers on the streets of London. Her dream of being a lady in a florist’s shop is out of reach unless she can speak ‘proper English’. So when she encounters Henry Higgins, a professor of phonetics, she seizes the chance to transform her life.  A perfect topic for a group of English students – “loverly”!
