Remember watching My Fair Lady in the theater?
Did you grow up watching annual rebroadcasts of My Fair Lady on the television? Did your family have a vinyl album of the My Fair Lady soundtrack? Did your Dad remind you that the rain in Spain falls mainly on the plain?*
Take a walk back though memory lane and join MAX to watch My Fair Lady as it was originally intended, including both the musical overture and intermission.
Haven’t seen the movie or musical? Join us for a delightful afternoon watching this enchanting film from another era.
For those that don’t know the story, Audrey Hepburn is willful, self-aware, and ultimately self-reliant Eliza Doolittle and Rex Harrison is Professor Henry Higgins in this splendid widescreen adaptation of the smash Broadway musical by Alan Jay Lerner and Frederick Loewe. Set in 1912 London, Higgins, a misogynistic and snobbish phonetics professor agrees to a wager that he can make Eliza Doolittle, a flower girl, presentable in high society.
My Fair Lady won the Academy Award® as Best Picture of 1964 and seven additional Oscars®. Based on George Bernard Shaw’s Pygmalion, My Fair Lady still dazzles thanks to indelible performances, gorgeous cinematography, and songs like “I Could Have Danced All Night,” “The Rain in Spain,” “On the Street Where You Live” and “I’ve Grown Accustomed to Her Face.”
The film's runtime is 3 hours, not including any previews which may precede the movie.

*In reality, the rain falls mainly in the mountains in Spain, as in the rest of the world.
