The first snippet of the final performance of the tour cast in Toronto. Please forgive the sniffly people beside me, and the baby that was brought to the performance, and a later cellphone ringing. :(

Dana DeLisa (the Eliza alternate) was performing today.

I'll track the rest of the audio sometime after the birds stop singing in the morning.

My Fair Lady

2.5* (out of 4)

By Alan Jay Lerner and Frederick Loewe. Until May 31 at the Toronto Centre for the Arts, 5040 Yonge St. 416-872-1111

The lady's really loverly, but nothing else around her is of quite the same spectacular calibre.

That's the verdict on the production of My Fair Lady that opened at the Toronto Centre for the Arts on Friday as part of Dancap Productions' season.

The classic Lerner-Loewe musical, based on George Bernard Shaw's Pygmalion, is still one of the near-perfect works of the form.

Phonetics professor Henry Higgins bets a friend that – purely through proper speech and manners – he can turn "a crushed cabbage leaf" of a flower seller into "a consort fit for a king."

It's a definite treat to see it again and an equal delight that the classy main hall of the Toronto Centre for the Arts is back in business once more, being used for the purpose for which it was created.

The Cameron Mackintosh/National Theatre production of My Fair Lady has arrived in Toronto and it's something that has something old, something new, something borrowed, and something blue I guess.

So, I'll begin the slow task of loading both acts onto SS and hopefully it'll all happen before nightfall comes. :)

So, it's taken me roughly two... maybe three hours to get through the first act of My Fair Lady. O+O;

There are more cuts in terms of splitting scenes and songs than I'm usually accustomed to. [35 for the first act]

I'll muddle through Act 2 sometime over this weekend, what with a multitude of dinners and lunches on the schedule. Mother's Day is one giant excuse to ensure that all meals are at restaurants... O+O;

Anyhow, the information for this performance will be posted once I've got both acts in place complete with titles and such.

For now, the following will have to suffice:

CAST: Christopher Cazenove (Professor Henry Higgins), Lisa O'Hare (Eliza Doolittle), Tim Jerome (Alfred P. Doolittle), Walter Charles (Colonel Hugh Pickering), Marni Nixon (Mrs. Higgins), Barbara Marineau (Mrs. Pearce), Justin Bohon (Freddy Eynsford-Hill)

A sample.

So the tour's coming to the city, and I've decided that I'll sacrifices a sheep or two and go see the show.

I suppose I should actually listen to the cast recording now... ;)
