Hit Broadway musical now playing at Marriott Theatre



The Marriott Theatre, 10 Marriott Drive, wraps up its highly acclaimed
2009 season with an enchanting retelling of the timeless Tony
Award-winning musical MY FAIR LADY.  The production runs through February
14.

The place is London, the time 1912. Professor Henry Higgins has made a bet
that Eliza Doolittle, a common cockney flower girl, can be passed off as
royalty.  But as Higgins succeeds in transforming her from urchin to lady,
Eliza realizes she may not need his help after all, and Higgins may need
her more than he thinks. MY FAIR LADY features a beautiful, soaring score
including “I Could Have Danced All Night,” “On the Street Where You Live,”
and “The Rain in Spain.”

MY FAIR LADY features an all-star cast including Kevin Gudahl as Henry
Higgins, Heidi Kettenring as Eliza Doolittle, David Lively as Colonel
Pickering, Don Forston as Alfred Doolittle, Ann Whitney as Mrs. Higgins,
Max Quinlan as Freddy Eynsford-Hill, and Catherine Lord as Mrs. Pearce.
The production also stars Cheryl Avery, George Keating, Glory Kissel,
Brandon Koller, Christian Libonati, Ericka Mac, Roger Mueller, Christina
Myers, Nicholas Sandys, Emily Thompson and Joseph Tokarz.

Lead Artistic Director Aaron Thielen heads the artistic team for MY FAIR
LADY, with Sound Design by Robert E. Gilmartin, Properties Design by Greg
Isaac, Musical Direction by Michael Mahler, Costume Design by Nancy
Missimi, Choreography by Matt Raftery, Set Design by Thomas M. Ryan, and
