Watch theatrical history repeat itself

Julie Andrews, who starred in the original 1956 show on Broadway, has directed My Fair Lady to exactly replicate it, including using those Cecil Beaton costumes. It’s showing in Brisbane and Melbourne for the first time: at Brisbane’s Lyric Theatre until 23 April and Melbourne’s Regent Theatre from 12 May until 25 June. It returns to Sydney after its success last year, showing at the Capitol Theatre from 24 August until 23 September. Like Julie, it’s practically perfect in every way. myfairladymusical.com.au
