"The Dallas Summer Musicals' My Fair Lady shows what a superbly talented cast can do with a classic show when it works with a fine director who takes the script's demands seriously. No wild rethinkings here—merely the best-acted musical to grace the Music Hall stage in recent memory... "Marla Schaffel and Norman Large made a strong pair in My Fair Lady on Tuesday night. Marla Schaffel, a Tony Award frontrunner last year for Jane Eyre, has re-imagined Eliza Doolittle, making George Bernard Shaw's flower girl more intelligent, more determined, more volatile and more enthusiastic than ever before."
