My Fair Lady at Benedum Center Pittsburgh

There's a breathtaking visual when the Benedum Center Theater delivers the new My Fair Lady when Lauren Ambrose emerges as Eliza Doolittle, changed from a common-as-muck flower girl into regal stunner, done up to attend the posh Embassy Ball. Costumer Catherine Zuber has dressed her in a pale golden sheath that seems to merge with the actress's alabaster skin and copper-colored hair. When the servants help her into a stunning ruby-red cloak, she looks like a dewy English rose in full blossom. Comparable delights intoxicate the eyes and ears throughout this sumptuous staging from Bartlett Sher, a director who has proved to be among the very best at chiseling surprising nuance out of classic musicals. So if you want to see all the thrills, highs, lows and excitement of a live theater show, come to the iconic Benedum Center in Pittsburgh for a night of incredible entertainment.
