I saw this on the 23rd. I was soo impressed by scenery and seamless scene changes by the actors! The ability of the ensemble cast who had to keep jumping in and out of different characters!! The entire cast was wonderful! I thought Eliza was charming her ability to jump in and out of her Cockney and proper English was impressive and Harry could really sing!

So there were three things that struck me while watching my fair lady- The protestors for women's suffrage in white (such a huge contrast with all of the colors), The lack of any real chemistry between Eliza and Higgins (she was infatuated, but when she sang the song about the world going on she sang it confidently rather than longingly). And the ending where she leaves. I think they purposefully reframed the whole thing so as not to fit the typical woman needs man scenario. Those were all conscious choices by the director- not accidents and turned the typical trope from decades past into a relevant message. Fantastic!

What a great performance was last night at the Arsht Center in Miami, actors, stage, orchestra, all acted as one. Thank you for bringing art to us, my husband and I had a great evening.

The ensemble was extremely talented, particularly the actress who played Eliza Doolittle and the secondary actor who sang “on the street where you live”. Great supporting voices, costumes and interesting revolving stage concept. It’s a well staged revival - with a modern twist to the ending. I was wondering how this musical which focused much on class and gender differences would be seen through a contemporary lens - the producers obviously added more diversity to the cast and a “feminist” conclusion. Clearly a modern interpretation of a very traditional and classic musical. I’d strongly recommend it to children, teens and adults who appreciate a great theater experience.

I love the songs so much, I know them all by heart. Since I am a huge fan of Marni Nixon, Shereen Ahmed’s voice left something to be desired. Too quiet and restrained. She looks beautiful though! Neither my husband nor I could understand a “fing” out of Martin Fisher’s voice (he plays Alfred P. Doolittle). The sets were beautiful and the character actors were great. Laird Mackintosh as Henry Higgins was spot on and amazing!! He makes it! I’m no prude however the “Get me to the church” scene was a little over the top-as far as taste, but a good big scene!! The ending was confusing though. All in all, it was quite enjoyable! It’s so good to be going back out to live theatre. The pit orchestra was outstanding!

The Providence Show was fantastic! Audience energy was palpable, and that is never an accident. What’s wrong with a “Classic”? Things get to be “Classics” because they’re so tremendous. So why do all the new shows tinker. There wasn’t much of that here and that was fine with me. The talent, the voices, the production, the staging, “in a minute I knew that we had easily won”. Don’t hesitate to see this. You’re going to feel so good! JT
