DEAR FRIENDS

Gina Vernaci
re you ready for more Broadway? We certainly are! Following My Fair Lady, we round out the 2021-2022 KeyBank Broadway Series with Ain’t Too Proud in July and Disney’s Frozen in August and September. And then, we head right into the recently announced 2022-2023 KeyBank Broadway Series by opening the national tour of Les Misérables in October, followed by Cats in November, Beetlejuice in January, Hadestown in January and February, Tina – The Tina Turner Musical in April and May, Moulin Rouge! The Musical in June and July and Six The Musical in August and September. The best way to experience these beloved classics and hot new hits is to become a season ticket holder and/or donor, and you can do that today to guarantee the best access to the best seats. Cleveland is known for being home to the best Broadway audiences in the country, and we love how much YOU love BWY in CLE. We want to thank KeyBank for their ongoing support of the Broadway Series and educational programming here at Playhouse Square. They have been a generous and loyal partner for many years and deserve a hearty round of applause for helping us bring the best of Broadway to our community.
Sincerely,
Gina Vernaci President & CEO, Playhouse Square

PROGRAM NOTE

Gina Vernaci
e do love the Greeks. After all, what would life be without their contributions to modern society? Athens is considered the seat of democracy as well as the site of the first modern Olympic games. In addition, we are the benefactors of their inventiveness in art and theater. The musical My Fair Lady has tentacles that reach back to this ancient time of conjuring up myths to help teach us something valuable. It is a story, based on a play by George Bernard Shaw, titled Pygmalion. Shaw’s play, in turn, is based on a mythological story where a sculptor named Pygmalion carves his notion of a perfect woman out of ivory. Perfect and slight — demure and white. He falls in love with his creation and when he kisses her, she comes to life. Fortunately, such absurdities as traits of the flawless female have been re-examined thanks to Bart Sher, the musical’s acclaimed director. Just as he reshaped the lens through which we viewed To Kill A Mockingbird, he now offers us an excitingly fresh look of a beloved work with this current tour of My Fair Lady. We meet Eliza wrapped in her tattered garments and dirt-smeared face, selling flowers in London’s Covent Garden. She is our rough-and-tumble heroine. The dreariness of her world seems to be inescapable, whirling her toward a life of downwardly spiraling mobility. Meanwhile, Professor Henry, on a bet, believes he can take any ragged vagabond and, with a bit of Higgins’ magic, make her pass for a lady of high society. It is as though he was remodeling his study — a little wallpaper, a new rug, fluff up the book collection and presto, all is pretty. He seems to be focused on the cosmetic and has a lack of curiosity for what is concealed beneath the dustcover. As one would expect, the physical production of My Fair Lady is befitting our expectations of the grandeur of life found at 27A Wimpole Street. Michael Yeargen’s magnificent set design moves and spins, taking us from Higgins’ study to the ramshackle streets of the underbelly of London with fluidity. The ease with which he takes us from scene-to-scene is more than a mechanical achievement. He is illustrating the stark contrasts between poverty and wealth. The costumes also add to the narrative. Eliza’s journey from rags to riches is dramatic and expertly captured by Catherine Zuber’s keen eye for line and color. The transformation of Eliza from flower girl to elegant gentlelady can be noted by the fabric tone and finish of the hemline of what she is wearing. Take special note of Shereen Ahmed, the statuesque actress who is our leading lady. Fearlessly, she marched into an open audition for the Lincoln Center production in NYC, and was originally cast in the ensemble. Her flourishing career includes becoming the understudy for Eliza, ultimately going on in this legendary part and setting the stage to place her in the spotlight for this national tour. In the scene at the Ascot races, Shereen dons a magnificent hat — a sweeping bold design appointed with feathers from exotic birds. We can all take flight with this headpiece as an early crowning achievement for her — the first of many in what will certainly be a robust career. As an American actress of Egyptian descent, she leads us forward on our continuing journey of embracing the broad spectrum of glorious talent in the world around us.
Enjoy,
Gina Vernaci President & CEO, Playhouse Square

He also wrote Love Life with Kurt Weill, On a Clear Day You Can See Forever and Carmelina with Burton Lane, Coco with Andre Previn, 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue with Leonard Bernstein and Dance a Little Closer with Charles Strouse. He wrote the libretto and/or lyrics for the following films: An American in Paris, Gigi, The Little Prince, Royal Wedding and film versions of his plays.

FREDERICK LOEWE (Music), a classically trained musician, wrote the scores for some of America’s most memorable musicals including My Fair Lady, Camelot, Brigadoon, Paint Your Wagon and Gigi. Among his most famous songs with lyricist- partner Alan Jay Lerner are “Almost Like Being in Love,” “I Could Have Danced All
Night” and “Thank Heaven for Little Girls.” A musical prodigy, Loewe was born in Berlin in 1901 and, at 13, was the youngest piano soloist to play with the Berlin Philharmonic. His popular song “Katrina,” written when he was 15, sold more than a million copies across Europe. Struggling to find work on Broadway after arriving in the U.S. in 1924, Loewe worked at such odd jobs as cow punching, boxing and accompanying silent films on the piano. He wrote with several other lyricists until approaching Lerner at New York’s Lambs Club in 1942 about collaborating on a show—thus beginning one of Broadway’s most extraordinary partnerships. The recipient of multiple Tony and Academy awards, Loewe died in Palm Springs in 1988.
