From the moment "My Fair Lady" opened at the Walton Arts Center on Tuesday night, Shereen Ahmed was the center of attention. While she wasn t as boisterous as Audrey Hepburn in the iconic role of the Cockney flower seller, she held her own against Laird Mackintosh s delightfully arrogant Professor Henry Higgins. In an interview with What s Up!, she said that one of the things that she admired about Eliza was that "she is her own engine," which you could see before the first bars of "Wouldn t It Be Loverly." While we re on the subject, the trio who harmonize at the beginning of the song did so beautifully.
What did our critic think of MY FAIR LADY at The Orpheum Theatre Memphis? My Fair Lady is a musical based on George Bernard Shaw s 1913 play Pygmalion, with book and lyrics by Alan Jay Lerner and music by Frederick Lowe. The story centers around Cockney flower girl Eliza Dolittle, who becomes Professor Henry Higgin s experiment in phonetics but quickly proves to Higgins and to the audiences that she is quite more and is more of a lady than anyone can originally see. If you enjoy the Golden Age of musicals, this one is not to be missed.
