May Day Long Trip – This trip is open to any adult, 18 years old and older.
Our first stop is the Providence Place Mall were you will have time on your own to have an early lunch. After lunch, we head over to the Providence Performing Arts Center for our 1pm matinee performance of Lerner & Loewe’s musical My Fair Lady!
One of the most beloved musicals of all time, My Fair Lady is back on Broadway in a lavish new production from NYC’s Lincoln Center Theater – the theater that brought you the Tony Award winning revivals of South Pacific and The King and I.
Directed by Tony winner Bartlett Sher, My Fair Lady tells the story of Eliza Doolittle, a young Cockney flower seller, and Henry Higgins, a linguistics professor who is determined to transform her into his idea of a “proper lady.” But who is really being transformed?
My Fair Lady’s amazing score includes “I Could Have Danced All Night,” “The Rain in Spain,” “Wouldn’t It Be Loverly” and “On the Street Where You Live”. The original 1956 production won six Tony Awards including Best Musical and was hailed “one of the best musicals of the century”.
COST: $75 per person includes motorcoach transportation and orchestra ticket. Driver tip is not included.
