Whatever age you are, you're almost sure to have heard at least one of the songs from My Fair Lady.
Lerner and Loewe's world-famous musical touches down in Manchester this week. Featuring that iconic score by Frederick Loewe, the story debuted as a stage musical in the 1950s, before being made into a 1964 film starring Audrey Hepburn.
The narrative centres on young Cockney flower seller Eliza Doolittle and linguistics professor Henry Higgins, who sets himself the challenge of transforming Eliza into a 'proper young lady'. Directed by Bartlett Sher of the King and I and To Kill a Mockingbird fame, the action is seamless and acting superb.
