Leicester’s Curve is to stage the Lerner and Loewe musical My Fair Lady at Christmas 2024.
Curve’s chief executive Chris Stafford and artistic director Nikolai Foster said, “Lerner and Loewe’s music and lyrics, matched with the words and imaginative brio of George Bernard Shaw, make My Fair Lady one of the finest musicals from the traditional canon.
“It’s a show we’ve wanted to present at Curve for many years and we’re thrilled Christmas 2024 will be made magical by Shaw’s glittering crew of eccentric characters and some of the most wonderful songs ever written for a musical comedy. At the centre of it all is Eliza Doolittle, surely one of the most inspiring characters ever to have leapt from the imagination of a writer.
“It’s the perfect Curve Christmas show and we look forward to audiences being enchanted and electrified by this timeless story.”
Foster will direct My Fair Lady which will run at Curve from Saturday 23 November until Saturday 4 January 2025.
