Michael Arden's My Fair Lady in Sag Harbor — Page 2

This sounds like a classy production, one worth seeing if not worth traveling for.

Yes, I think that's how I'd describe it - I happened to be in the Hamptons for the week, which is why I saw it and if I go back to the Hamptons before the show closes then I'll try to see it again. I definitely recommend it (the video doesn't do the production justice!) but I don't think that it's a "can't miss" kind of thing. Definitely take my opinion with a grain of salt, though, because I actually knew very little about the show when I saw it (although now I'm in love with the show and have done a lot of research on it since then!)

I love that the OP was asking for reviews from those who have seen the show, but instead got negative reviews from people that haven't, and likely won't see the show.

I can understand the notion of seeing a few clips and discussing that it doesn't interest you, but to actually trash an entire concept when you haven't seen it in context just seems a bit absurd to me.

Seeing it this week. Will report back. I love the show and have admired Arden's work - looking forward to seeing this production, though slightly concerned about this production's concept. Nothing beats a day at the beach followed by first-rate theater.

So has anyone else seen this production? Curious to hear more thoughts on it.

Show was excellent if imperfect. Well chosen cuts to script. Leads were all stellar, though with two former Phantom leads taking on smaller roles, I wondered why they weren't at the top of the bill. Concept needs some sharpening, but it was a lovely way to present this show with a small cast and two pianos. Worked for me and for the sold out crowd, lots of laughter and murmurs of appreciation at the final tableau. Arden has a real career as a director in front of him- looking forward to catching his Merrily in LA this fall.
