That's right – the greatest. No other show offers such a ravishing abundance of wit, melody, and sheer theatrical genius. When you place this material in the hands of a gifted cast and imaginative designers, magic happens. George Bernard Shaw's comic play Pygmalion, an offbeat tale of a phonetics professor who turns a cockney flower girl into a well-spoken lady, has plenty of socially relevant humor but very little emotion. It took Alan Jay Lerner and composer Frederick Loewe to unleash the heart and soul of these characters. From its legendary first night in 1957, My Fair Lady has been winning the hearts of audiences all over the world. In any language or location, this is a bona fide masterpiece.
But it's a funny thing with masterpieces – every contemporary director seems determined to "improve" them. The uncut My Fair Lady runs three hours and ten minutes, and the good folks at Paper Mill have succumbed to the ill-advised but popular notion that shorter is better. In cutting twenty minutes from this production, they have cost the show two scenes, one full song ("A Hymn to Him"), most of the overture, and much of its structural integrity. They have also hacked the final scene off of Act One and turned it into the opening of Act Two.
Show Biography - My Fair Lady
The results are still entertaining, but I do wish Paper Mill's management had warned us they were re-thinking and abridging the show. If it was so important to get the curtain down before 11PM, they should have left My Fair Lady to others and revived something shorter. Paper Mill's 1993 production made some adjustments but left "Hymn to Him" intact. This time around, audiences get some wonderful performances, ravishing costumes and at least one gorgeous set, but they only get most of My Fair Lady, not all of it.
The rest of the supporting cast, performs with consummate skill. Tom Blair is an endearing Colonel Pickering, Lenka Peterson's Mrs. Higgins a petite but imposing bundle of sharp-tongued motherhood and Anne O'Sullivan a fine Mrs. Pearce. The various ensemble singers and dancers are best summed up with a paraphrase: I could have listened all night to those butler and maid choruses.
People remembering Stanley Holloway and other more beer-bellied Alfred P. Doolittles, may at first glance find Walter Hudson a bit too tall and lean for the crusty ne'er-do-well. (Hudson was last seen as Dick Deadeye in the BTF's season opening H.M.S. Pinafore, directed by this production's leading man -- linked below). He quickly dispels any misgivings with his wry spoken and sung line delivery and his considerable dance skills, highlighted in "I'm Getting Married In the Morning." This is the evening 's biggest and most enjoyable production number and rates a special hurrah for Hudson and company and choreographer Gerry McIntyre.
