'My Fair Lady' is a Hit at Massapequa High School

The Massapequa High School Music Department took audiences on a delightful journey to London, England, March 6 and 7, with its beautiful production of ‘My Fair Lady,’ a story about Eliza Doolittle, a working-class flower girl who takes speech lessons from an arrogant phonetics professor, Henry Higgins, so that she may speak “proper” English and pass as a refined lady among the high social classes.

Eliza was played by Hannah B. and Professor Henry Higgins by Brian B. Other lead roles were Colonel Pickering played by William H.; Freddy Eynsford-Hill, played by Charlie M., and Alfie Doolittle, Eliza’s father, played by William M. Everyone involved in the production did a spectacular job of bringing the musical to life with exquisite costumes, gorgeous set designs and memorable performances, including the musical’s beloved songs, “Wouldn’t It Be Lovely”, ‘The Rain in Spain” and “I Could Have Danced All Night.”

The production was directed by district’s English Curriculum Associate Kevin Harrington, who has directed more than 300 musicals throughout his career, and is based on a book by Alan Jay Lerner with music by Frederick Loewe and adapted from George Bernard Shaw’s play and Gabriel Pascal’s motion picture, “Pygmalion.” Congratulations to the cast, crew, pit orchestra and staff for putting on a marvelous show!
