Lerner & Loewe's "My Fair Lady" is such a classic that there's hardly anything I can say more about it. It broke the record for longest running play on Broadway and was then made into a film that broke records as well. But the Tuacahn Theater has outdone themselves on this one. The fabulous outdoor theater allowed them to include in the production an onstage: rainstorm, horse race, fireworks display, two horse-drawn carriages and a vintage motorcar. Although there was a cast of close to 40 people, the stage is large enough that they never looked crowded. All the performers were miked which meant that every line and every song lyric was clearly heard by the whole audience. We had fourth row seats, though, and appreciated all the nuances of facial expressions. Everyone stayed marvelously in character the whole time.
To make the evening even more entertaining, we enjoyed the pre-show buffet dinner and the pre-show English street show, and the pre-pre-show girls' dancing team all the way from Orem, Utah.
Great experience. Great show. I highly recommend it.
