This exciting new production of the much-loved musical is scaled down to its emotional core to fit SF Playhouse's intimate stage, honoring the gorgeous Lerner & Loewe score, while heating up the romance between British gentleman Henry Higgins and poor street-tough Eliza, along with heightening the realism of its gritty 1912 London setting. The final show of the award-winning company's 2012 season, this re-imagined My Fair Lady stars a cast of 10 with a pair of pianos, who'll perform the Tony-winning classic known for such memorable songs as "I Could've Danced All Night," "Wouldn't It Be Loverly?," "Get Me to the Church on Time" and "I've Grown Accustomed to Her Face."

Mike Leigh's Disco-Era Comedy Abigail's Party

Full Price:
$30.00 - $100.00
Our Price:
$10.00 - $50.00

San Francisco Playhouse presents a hilarious, disco-infused dark comedy from acclaimed writer-director Mike Leigh (Secrets and Lies, Topsy-Turvy). This suburban situation comedy of manners satirizes the aspirations and tastes of the new middle class that emerged in Britain in the 1970s. A neighborhood cocktail party among relative strangers quickly devolves as, over the course of the evening, the characters' obsessions, prejudices, fears and petty competitiveness are ruthlessly exposed. Amy Glazer directs the show. Learn More

For the price, it was a first class show. Well worth the 2 1/2 hours of your vacation time.

Creative set design. Terrific singing/acting. Impressed by Higgins and Eliza. Enjoyed Eliza's dad performance . A different slant to this show. Sexier and a bit edgy. Very well done. Only disappointment was a slight one - Eliza's costumes. Didn't seem to fit the era of the show.
Definite thumbs up!

About the Ticket Supplier: The San Francisco Playhouse

The aim of the SF Playhouse is to provide a creative home and inspiring environment where actors, directors, writers, designers and theater lovers converge to create works that celebrate the human spirit. Founded by Bill English and Susi Damilano in 2003, SF Playhouse is Union Square's intimate, professional theatre. Using professional actors and world-class design, the SF Playhouse -- which won the Bay Guardian's 2006 Best Off Broadway Theatre Award and about which the San Francisco Chronicle raved "San Francisco's newest theatre isn't just another tiny stage carved out of a storefront...it's an enticing introduction to a new company" -- has become an intimate theatre alternative to the traditional Union Square theatre fare, garnering 20 Bay Area Theatre Critic nominations in its first year.
