From Lincoln Center Theater that brought you The King & I and South Pacific, comes “a sumptuous new production of the most perfect musical of all time” (Entertainment Weekly), Lerner & Loewe’s MY FAIR LADY. Director Bartlett Sher’s glowing production is “thrilling, glorious and better than it ever was” (New York Times). “Every so often a revival comes along that reminds you how indispensable great theater can be” (NY1).
Boasting such classic songs as “I Could Have Danced All Night,” “The Rain in Spain,” “Wouldn’t It Be Loverly” and “On the Street Where You Live,” MY FAIR LADY tells the story of Eliza Doolittle, a young Cockney flower seller, and Henry Higgins, a linguistics professor who is determined to transform her into his idea of a “proper lady.” But who is really being transformed?

Organ or harpsichord music can be heard in the European-styled sanctuary decorated with 14’ trees. Transiberian music with a coordinated light show can be heard in the MakerSpace with planned activities for children on Saturdays from 12-2 p.m. Opening and closing concerts for the festival have become an important tradition.
The Nativity Festival is free and open to the public, but donations accepted. Parking is free in the KWIK Park adjacent to the church building, which is handicap accessible. This is St Paul’s Christmas gift to the community. All are welcome to enjoy these beautiful sites and sounds of the season! Contact kate@stpaulstoledo.org for more information.

Wylie Sr. is on display, for PHOTO ops, at the Lake Erie Shores & Island office on Route 53 in Catawba.
