"An absolute feast for the senses...the details are so fine it's hard to tell where reality ends and artistry picks up...The Ogunquit Playhouse has chosen wisely in this all-star cast...It's a beautiful production that will leave you wanting to dance into the night." - The Portland Press Herald
When stringent linguist, Profe
ssor Henry Higgins, bets a colleague he can turn flower vendor Eliza Doolittle from a guttersnipe into a duchess, the stage is set for romance and glitter. Touted by many as the perfect musical, this dazzling production features irresistible songs including “Wouldn’t It Be Loverly,” “I Could Have Danced All Night” and “On the Street Where You Live.” Bring the whole family to enjoy this timeless classic.
Henry Higgins, a Professor of Phonetics, encounters Eliza Doolittle, a cockney flower girl, at
Over the course of several months Eliza, who moves into the Higgins household, is put through a grueling course of phonetics and elocution lessons by Higgins. When she is presented at the Embassy Ball, she is beautiful, elegant and well-spoken.
Celebrating his victory, Higgins ignores Eliza’s feelings while failing to give her any of the credit for the transformation and hard work; and she leaves him.
Follow the ups and downs and plot twists as Higgins gets more than he bargains for along the way as Doolittle ends up teaching him a thing or two. “I’ve Grown Accustomed to Her Face” betrays Higgins’ character change at the hands of his pupil.
Once again the Playhouse is thrilled to be among the first theatres in the country to present this gorgeous show; often called “the perfect musical.”
