‘Fair Lady’ stars in spring musical The select choir, under the direction of Mrs. Claudia Irwin, presented Lerner and Loewe’s musical, “My Fair Lady,” April 11-12. Over the past two years, the choir’s annual spring musicals have steadily improved. “My Fair Lady” clearly displayed the best effort and talent yet. The musical concerns British dialectician Henry Higgins (Dave Kemmer) and the Cockney flower girl Eliza Doolittle (Sandy Van-Camp) . His friend Colonel Pickering (Rich Slizeski) bets that Higgins can’t make a proper English-speaking lady of her and pass her off at a ball in six months. Higgins can’t refuse such a challenge and so he takes the girl in. The lessons prove to be difficult and trying for both Eliza and Higgins, but finally Eliza is ready to pass the test. And she does so with flying colors. Now she faces a problem: what to do with her life. She can’t go back to her old way of life, and yet she doesn’t wish to marry or work in a flower shop. Eliza leaves Higgins, and during this time they realize how much they need each other. She returns to Higgins, in the final scene, content to continue the relationship as it is. The choir members sang and acted exceptionally well. There were some unavoidable problems, such as long set changes, the small size of the choir and the length of the play. Credit should also go to Larry Tyson as Eliza’s father, Alfred P. Doolittle, and to Ann Houtz as Higgins’ mother. ONLY THE NOSE KNOWS.
