My Fair Lady, according to press notes, "tells the story of Eliza Doolittle, a Cockney flower girl who takes speech lessons from professor Henry Higgins, a phoneticist, so that she may pass as a lady."

Directed by Marc Bruni, the limited engagement will be choreographed by Chris Bailey and music-directed by Ben Whiteley.

Loukas, and the production stage manager is Nevin Hedley. For more information visit Muny.com.
