2 Mar 2014 - My Fair Lady

Went to another musical theatre show at Marina Bay Sand. The car park was a problem as it was IT show and it was packed with cars, hard to find a lot. Anyway, we reached around 7pm to collect the tickets from my colleague. We had discounted tickets for the staff, I think it was half price? We got ourselves entrance to Door L, Row G, seat 18 and 19. Yup..this time was seated at the upper rows. However, I found it still ok, We could still see the stage alright and whole view of it actually.

The show.......lots of talking and talking.....
The storyline was simple.....as below taken from the web.
Didn't really enjoy the show as it was all the while talking and talking...
Maybe I need subtitle so that I could understand the show better? =P
The props were basically showing the professor's home most of the time, nothing fantastic.
Ok, maybe I was comparing it to the "Phantom of the Opera". The Phantom of the Opera was really good! They sang very well and I love the show!
 
Henry Higgins, a Professor of Phonetics, encounters Eliza Doolittle, a cockney flower girl, one cold March night at Covent Garden market. He declares to his friend Colonel Pickering that in three months he could transform Eliza into a duchess.
 
Over the course of several months Eliza, who moves into the Higgins household, is put through a gruelling course of phonetics and elocution lessons by Higgins. Eliza's moment of triumph comes at the Embassy Ball. She is beautiful, elegant and well-spoken and proves to be an enormous success particularly with the young gentleman Freddy Eynsford-Hill who falls desperately in love with her.
After the ball Eliza falls into despondency as she sees Higgins celebrating his triumph in passing Eliza off as a duchess, showing little consideration for her feelings. Unnoticed, she slips out of Higgins' house and seeks consolation with Higgins' mother. Higgins comes in search of her but Eliza refuses to return with him.
 
Back at home, Higgins realises that he has become accustomed to Eliza. But suddenly Eliza reappears. She has forgiven Higgins and has decided to return
 
 


 
Collected the tickets at the entrance.

 
We reached at 7pm to collect the tickets. The show started at 8pm and ended around 11pm.
Some performance we saw while we were walking to find food.
