My Fair Lady Reviews

Jess K. from Springfield, Missouri

GREAT LEADING LADY….THE REST, MEH.

Had I not seen the movie 3 dozen times I would never have caught on because the sound was so bad in the opening act. I have seen many shows at JKH and this sound was AWFUL. Lows were almost indiscernible and highs were so high to be painful. Sets were okay. Repetitive. The leading lady stole the show. Henry Higgins was alright. The ending two scenes were so long I almost fell asleep. Boring. And the drag queens were not my favorite addition. No need to be woke with a classic, REALLY???? And that ending? What the heck. NO. Would never see again.

COULD HAVE BEEN BETTER

Glad to hear others thought the sound was terrible. Eliza's initial east end cockney sounded like bird chirp and was unintelligible from our seats. Sets were lively with clever transitions. Yes Eliza does just choose to walk away with her new self esteem but wish it had been dramatized more ...a speech from the new Eliza perhaps to clarify. acting was fine but all characters were emotionally disconnected. Perhaps it's just the story line as we have become more sophisticated in our tastes and expect more in what we see on stage. It was a bit too long. Still enjoyed the show and the lovely theatre.

BEST FIRST ACT I’VE SEEN; WORST SECOND ACT I’VE EVER SEEN.

The casting is brilliant and performers, sets, and costumes amazing. But the second act completely wasted the enormous talent by forcing them into a maladaptated story line. Quite frankly I’m sad we went. The performers were amazing but the second act left us feeling let down, underwhelmed, and disappointed. The main thought is that the extremely high quality talent was wasted on a really poor story line. I’d recommend skipping this.

UM HELLO- WORST, UNCLEAR ENDING EVER--WHO'S RESPONSIBLE

eh- I really want all 3 hours of my life back, although I enjoyed a couple of songs, the costumes and watching her transformation. Otherwise, nope. just nope...and that confusing ending. I just don't know what else to say-- she walks up to him, then off the set. He doesn't follow--- at least if they kissed, we'd know something

NOT RECOMMENDED

The is the proverbial "the actors are phoning it in" experience. The woman playing Mrs. Pearce was excellent (I don't unfortunately know the actresses name), but otherwise the acting was dull all around. The sets and costumes were beautiful, so I gave it two stars. The acting wasn't embarrassing, but really not worth going to see. Also, the woman who delivered the news to Alfred that Eliza was requesting her birdcage but not requesting clothes gave a great little monologue.

WEAK COMPARED TO THE TYPICAL STANDARD

We were so excited for our first return to the theatre but thought it was an overall dull show. Had trouble or staying awake..lighting and sets dull. Connection between the stars underwhelming. Felt this was one of the weakest shows we have seen and have been season ticket holders for years and years

DRAG QUEENS??

I was incredibly disappointed that they re-wrote a beautiful classic like My Fair Lady to include a raunchy drag queen scene for “Get me to the church on time.” What should’ve been a Grated performance suitable for children, was anything but. Rewriting the ending was also a fail. Made no sense at all.
