“These young people always amaze me with their talents. Acting, singing and dancing are all tough things to master and these students have these talents in spades”. Behan continues “This is sure to be a production of My Fair Lady not to be missed”.
Originally based on George Bernard Shaw’s renowned text Pygmalion, its maiden run on Broadway set a record as the longest running musical of the time. The piece was subsequently transformed into a hit London production, countless revivals and the famous film ranked as one of the greatest American Films of all time by the American Film Institute.
The Mercy Mounthawk productions are always of a high standard and they have received Bord Gais Student Theatre awards for previous shows.
Tickets are available through the Siamsa Tíre box office at (066) 712 3055, Adult tickets are €16 and concession tickets are €14. Show starts at 8pm. Book early to avoid disappointment. Scroll down for photos…
