PNC Broadway’s ‘My Fair Lady’ Opens at Benedum Center (Tues., 1/30/24)

Lerner and Leowe’s classic musical about the linguistics professor who attempts to make a Cockney flower girl into a woman of society comes to the Benedum Center. Based on the stage play, Pygmalion, by George Bernard Shaw, My Fair Lady, premiered on Broadway in 1956 and then was made into the Oscar-winning movie in 1964. The show includes many tunes considered to be part of the American songbook. “I Could Have Danced All Night,” “On the Street Where You Live,” and “I’ve Grown Accustomed to Her Face” are but a few. This PNC Broadway in Pittsburgh production comes from Lincoln Center with a cast of 26, featuring Anette Barrios-Torres as Eliza Doolittle and Jonathan Grunert as Professor Henry Higgins. Entertainment Weekly has claimed this production is “a masterpiece of entertainment; a sumptuous, thrilling new revival of the most perfect musical of all time.” My Fair Lady runs through February 4 at the Benedum Center. 237 7th Ave., Cultural District. (C.P.O.)
