Find out what is being said about Nikolai Foster’s revival of the classic musical, playing in Leicester until the 4th January.
WhatsOnStage: **** “However, My Fair Lady is ladened with the most beautiful songs which will lift your heart. Joanna Goodwin’s choreography and George Dyer’s musical supervision brings them to life in the most magical way. This production has stunning sets, sumptuous costumes and sensational singers and performers. If you love the film, you will enjoy this production no end.”
Musical Theatre Review: **** “Lynch makes a wonderful leading lady as Eliza shines throughout, really delivering the journey and excelling in both phases of the character’s transformation. There’s a warmth and strength to her performance, and she’s able to find a surprising amount of humour in Eliza’s mannerisms and dialogue, while all sounding great with a full soprano belt.”
All That Dazzles: *** “This is an evening of excellent vocals, some stunning setpieces, and just the right light entertainment we can expect from My Fair Lady, truly demonstrating just how much talent this country has in its performers.”
West End Best Friend: **** “Curve’s production of My Fair Lady boasts a delightful cast and lavish production values, so make sure to catch this festive treat whilst you can.”
Theatre & Tonic: ***** “Molly Lynch, who plays Eliza Dolittle, has a spectacular voice and can hold her own. Her character development is particularly well done through the use of different dialects and accents.”
Leicester Mercury: ***** “Lynch is captivating in the role of Eliza. Her rendition of ‘I Could Have Danced All Night’ is just beautiful. Seadon-Young and Patel are equally as well cast. Seadon-Young has the perfect voice for the role of Higgins. His frantic ways are matched completely by Patel’s calm and charming demeanour.”
The Telegraph: ***** “This superb revival at Leicester’s Curve treats Lerner and Loewe’s classic with respect, and boasts a career-making turn from Molly Lynch.”
Fairy Powered Productions: **** “In summary this is a fantastic production, with a fabulous cast, great songs and a stunning set.”
British Theatre Guide: “In different productions, the ending has been left on an ambiguous note for audiences to decide for themselves how Henry and Eliza’s relationship will end. Not so much doubt here, but it brings the comedy and conflict in this absorbing and richly detailed production to a satisfying, if slightly teary end.”
