My Fair Lady Reviews

MY FAIR LADY

I think this might have been an interesting theatrical experience if we could have understood any of the dialogue. The sound system aimed toward where we sat, Orchestra, section B, row M, was so garbled the actors might as well have been speaking Swahili. This also made many of the songs ear-splittingly screetchy . Which was a shame since I suspect many of the actors had very nice voices. Such a disappointment! We did not mind the so-called modern tweaks to this old classic, by the way, but those were all moot points since nearly all the dialogue was a muddy mess.

MY FAIR LADY IS JUST THAT…….FAIR.

It is unfair to compare anyone to Rex Harrison and Audrey Hepburn. Especially the first quarter of this production in which you could barely understand half the dialogue. The thick London accents were so thick that I dare say a Londoner wouldn’t have understood half of what was being said, after that point, the production did seem to pick up somewhat. Any momentum gained, however, was lost with the singing of Get Me to the Church . During that number, I actually saw people stand up and walk out of the theater. Then drag queens and sorid dancing , were better suited to Kinky Boots than they were Victorian England. The remainder of the play was fairly enjoyable, but I dare say thatfew in attendance will be back to see it a second time.

MY FAIR LADY

I took my daughters to see this play and was so very disappointed that “get me to the church” was all about sex acts, and worse, it was drag queens. Ruined it for us all. Never again will I assume that an old innocent play is safe to bring children to. Wish I would have read about this rendition before we went as we would have left our seats empty.

DRAG QUEENS IN 1900'S ENGLAND? NO!!!

This play was ruined! My husband bought us tickets for part of my Christmas gift because I have loved this movie so much with Audrey Hepburn and Rex Harrison all my life. Even named my dog Eliza! I am so glad I didn't bring a child with me to see this play. Who would have believed my favorite musical would be ruined with the nasty dancing /singing DRAG QUEENS complete with spreading their legs and laying on each other, dancing and thrusting!!! I didn't come to this play for this type thing. The rest of the play was okay (not great by any means), but was ruined by the shocking drag queen songs. When it ended people got up to leave as fast as I have ever seen at any theater. No standing ovation.....

It was very disappointing. The singing by Eliza was excellent. But Professor Higgins was without necessary emotion that made songs great. Can you really change an ending to a classic? Why not change Camelot to the boy being sent into fight? As for Getting me to the church on time - instead of listening to a historic song, they provide a out of story scene that made no sense nor appropriate for kids.

INCREDIBLE DISAPPOINTMENT

I think it takes tremendous audacity and a misguided ego to revise such an iconic story. Thank goodness the music was original as there was no romance, no feeling or chemistry between the characters. The second act never meshed with added pieces that had no context and the ending still has us incredibly disappointed and wondering. Freddie character was excellent with a beautiful voice.
