A___________________________ February 16.2005,, Focus ‘My Fair Lady ’ on Portland Center Stage Local production features original script and songs Portland Center Stage knows it would be loverly for audiences to see "M y Fair Lady” as a delightful mid-winter distraction. Based on G.B. S h aw 's‘‘Pygmalion,” the 1956 Lerner and Loewe version has been updated for Portlanders, still with all the original dialogue and songs. Opening night for performances is Friday, Feb. 18,continuing through Saturday, March 12 at Newmark Theatre, 1111 S.W. Broadway. In “ My Fair L ady,” Henry Higgins, a linguist who appears to be all head and no heart, is deter­ mined toci vilize Eliza Doolittle, an uneducated, unmannered cockney guttersnipe. While Eliza is indeed an apt pupil, she turns out to have a rare inner beauty that charms all who meet her, including her cur­ mudgeonly, know-it-all teacher. Eliza (Sherry Boone) grudgingly gives her father, Alfie Doolittle (James Brennan) a coin for a drop o f “liquid protection " in the Portland Center Stage production o f “My Fair Lady. ’ "My Fair Lady” is full of colorful, u nforgettable characters, including scallywag Alfte Doolittle, bumbling Col. Pickering, dotty Mrs. Higgins, long-suffering Mrs. Pearce, imperi­ ous Mrs. Eynsford-Hill and sweetly smitten Freddy. Tickets are $ 15 ages 30 and un­ der, $20 to $55 general.
