James Brennan directs the semi-staged concert performances of My Fair Lady, which plays the Lincoln Center venue through March 10. Grammer stars as Professor Henry Higgins with O'Hara as Eliza Doolittle. The starry company also features Charles Kimbrough as Colonel Hugh Pickering, Brian Dennehy as Alfred Doolittle, Marni Nixon as Mrs. Higgins, Tim Jerome as Professor Zoltan Karpathy, Meg Bussert as Mrs. Pearce, Philippe Castagner as Freddy Eynsford-Hill, Michael J. Farina as Jamie and Joe Grifasi as Harry.
Rob Fisher conducts the famed orchestra. The creative team also includes Ken Billington (lighting design), Ray Klausen (set design), Gail Baldoni (costume design) and Peggy Hickey (choreography).
My Fair Lady replaces the originally announced staging of Company. Plans to mount that Stephen Sondheim-George Furth musical were canceled in May due to the Broadway revival of the musical currently onstage at the Ethel Barrymore Theatre.
