'My Fair Lady' at Quintessence: Brio, music, and a closing truth for our moment
"My Fair Lady," through Dec. 23 at the Quintessence Theatre Group, is, I'm told, the group's first attempt at an adult classic musical. It's a success (Friday's house was packed with a singalong crowd), and I hope they do a lot more. It's an evening full of brio, heady emotions, the spectacle of people changing before your eyes, and a profound closing truth, all the more profound right now.
