The Curve in Leicester has announced the lead casting for its upcoming revival of Lerner and Loewe’s classic musical, set to be directed by Curve’s artistic director, Nikolai Foster (Evita, Billy Elliott, A Chorus Line).
This revival of My Fair Lady’s cast is set to be led by Molly Lynch (The Last Five Years, A Little Night Music), who returns to the theatre following her performance in Sunset Boulevard as Betty Schaefer.
The musical, which features songs such as ‘I Could Have Danced All Night’ and ‘Wouldn’t it Be Loverly?’, follows the story of flower seller Eliza Doolittle who is taught be phonetics professor Henry Higgins to speak as a high society lady. It is based on George Bernard Shaw’s play Pygmalion.
Talking about reviving the musical, Foster and chief executive Chris Stafford said today: “A glittering crew of eccentric characters and some of the most wonderful songs ever written for the stage make My Fair Lady one of the very best musical comedies of all time. And at the heart of this glorious show is Eliza Doolittle, surely one of the most dazzling characters ever to have leapt from the imagination of a writer.”
While further casting has yet to be announced, the creative team for My Fair Lady is set to include: choreography by Joanna Goodwin (An Officer and a Gentleman ),George Dye Dyer is musical supervisor, Michael Taylor (Billy Elliot) is set and costume designer, Mark Henderson (Standing at the Sky’s Edge) is lighting designer, Adam Fisher (Evita) is sound designer and casting direction is by Olivia Laydon for Jill Green Casting.
