MAGNIFICENT!

What a great performance was last night at the Arsht Center in Miami, actors, stage, orchestra, all acted as one. Thank you for bringing art to us, my husband and I had a great evening.

A COMPLETE REFRAMING.

So there were three things that struck me while watching my fair lady- The protestors for women's suffrage in white (such a huge contrast with all of the colors), The lack of any real chemistry between Eliza and Higgins (she was infatuated, but when she sang the song about the world going on she sang it confidently rather than longingly). And the ending where she leaves. I think they purposefully reframed the whole thing so as not to fit the typical woman needs man scenario. Those were all conscious choices by the director- not accidents and turned the typical trope from decades past into a relevant message. Fantastic!

MY FAIR LADY

I saw this on the 23rd. I was soo impressed by scenery and seamless scene changes by the actors! The ability of the ensemble cast who had to keep jumping in and out of different characters!! The entire cast was wonderful! I thought Eliza was charming her ability to jump in and out of her Cockney and proper English was impressive and Harry could really sing!

GREAT PRODUCTION OF MY FAIR LADY

Overall, we had a very enjoyable evening spent watching My Fair Lady. The individual performances were strong and the orchestra did an amazing job. My only real complaint is that was difficult for me to hear the dialogue at times, and i was sitting in the 3rd row! Made me wonder if they were having microphone issues. They need to turn up the volume a bit. Also, the ending (where Eliza approaches Prof Higgins, then turns and hurries off stage) seemed a bit awkward and even confusing. They need to rethink that part for sure.

SOLOS OVERSHADOWED

I was not expecting Rex or Audrey and had my expectations tempered. I think the solo voices were beautiful. They were overshadowed at times by either the chorus or the orchestra. You would think that sound checks would have fixed that before the performance. Also, the ending was very bizarre. My eleven year old asked, and all I could say was that maybe they wanted the audience to decide the ending?

ENDING DISAPPOINTING

I’ve seen this many times excellent voices. The ending was changed to Eliza leaving. Why. The raunchy get me to the church was just that raunchy. Why? Why change something that has worked for years!

STRONG VOCALS - A COUPLE OF TWISTS

Thought I would get my wife a surprise for her birthday and get tickets. Although we've been to many Broadway plays, we've never really watched the movie or the play. I'm glad we watched the movie first, it was easier to follow the play. The vocal performances in the play we're very good. Like several reviewers here, "Take me to the church on time" while being a very entertaining musical piece, I did not get the "drag" part. It just makes one think that they were trying to throw in the 10% diversity thing but kind of messing with the art and culture. It's like throwing a beard on the Mona Lisa. While I have nothing against people that want to dress drag, it just does not fit in the 5 minute slot of the entire show that was pretty well done true to story. I'm sure there are other outlets where this type of diversity could be expressed. The second twist was the abrupt ending, though having just watched the movie, I took the ending to mean the two antagonists got together in the end, albeit in an artsy way.
