In Conversation with LESLEY GARRETT discussing My Fair Lady at the Palace Theatre, Manchester

On Wednesday 15th March 2023, we interviewed Lesley Garrett about her role in the touring production of My Fair Lady coming to the Palace Theatre, Manchester on Wednesday 22nd March to Saturday 1st April 2023.

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 includes the classic songs I Could Have Danced All Night, Get Me to the Church on Time, Wouldn’t It Be Loverly, On the Street Where You Live, The Rain in Spain, and I’ve Grown Accustomed to Her Face.
