The national tour of the musical My Fair Lady opened last night at the Orpheum Theatre in downtown Minneapolis. This classic musical about a phonetics professor trying to turn a working-class girl into a highly cultured society lady has delighted audiences since it first premiered on Broadway in 1956. Here’s a glimpse at the current tour.
