My Fair Lady
Mon, 10 July 2000, 09:11 amJust wondering if anyone out there, has seen My Fair Lady on at the Regal Theatre at the moment. And if so, what did you think?

Obviously the critic, "Secret Squirrel" has no appreciation for amateur productions. I along with many of my colleagues thoroughly enjoyed the show. The show was well put together. Higgins and Pickering worked very well together as did Eliza. Higgins songs are supposed to be mostly spoken not sung. Singing them would completely take away what makes Higgins, Higgins. The cockney's worked well together and the chorus as a whole supported the show. Mrs Higgins, WOW, Doolittle, WOW, Freddy's song, "singing with hands" you say, ha, what an exquisite voice, keep up the work. The last time i checked vocal chords are not in your hands? :) Eliza's voice was simply stunning, "I could have danced all night" was an absolute highlight, as was "Show Me".
The Ascot scene was well choreographed, and was one of the best scenes in the show. The exchange of dialogue between the characters here, was nothing short of amazing.
Costumes were very good, the set was very good and authentic. Higgins being a very seasoned traveller would no doubt have asian artefacts in his study.
In short, one of the best, well rounded musicals I have seen. As for the $25.00 well worth it. If it wasn't for ticket prices at a reasonable $25.00 guess what you wouldn't have a show, and I guess even though you were lucky to get a free ticket you couldn't sit through the whole marvellous show.
In short, do not miss this show, another excellent amateur production. As for Secret Squirrel yes i agree a poor little unfortunate he is obviously a "heartless guttersnipe".
