PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE

It is my privilege and pleasure to welcome you to the Hastings Operatic Society’s production of “MY FAIR LADY”. The society is very much part of your community and I am aware its progress and successes are followed by many. Our aim is to provide a multi cultural outlet for our members and the community and at the same time provide quality entertainment for our audiences.

“MY FAIR LADY” is proving to be the largest and most colourful production as yet undertaken by the society, and we feel that you will be well pleased with the result. A show of this magnitude demands co-operation and discipline, and praise must go to our enthusiastic and hard working team under the very experienced and capable leadership of director Pat Snoxell. Our desire is your pleasure and your appreciation and enjoyment of this evenings performance will be just reward for their efforts.

In conclusion I would like to thank you for your support over the years and sincerely wish it to continue.

MY FAIR LADY

Books and Lyrics by
ALAN JAY LERNER

Music by
FREDERICK LOEWE

“Adapted from George Bernard Shaw’s Play and Gabrial Pascal’s motion picture ‘PYGMALION'”
Director of the original production Moss Hart

HASTINGS MUNICIPAL THEATRE
14th to 21st JULY 1990

“MY FAIR LADY”

My Fair Lady, Cinderella in disguise, is a story that has been retold for centuries. But sometimes a similar event happens in real life and the legend grows. Think of a kindergarten teacher who will one day be Queen Diana.

Everyone who wrote a new account of the Cinderella legend relied on an earlier edition, including G. B. Shaw. He must have known that W. S. Gilbert, of Gilbert and Sullivan, had forty years earlier written such a play. Nevertheless Shaw went to the same source – the legend of ancient sculptor, Pygmalian, who created his own perfect statue “Galatea” fell in love with it, praying for his statue to come to life.

Shaw’s version was different, he began with a guttersnipe and turned her into a lady!

The 1914 premiere of his “Pygmalian” through a rousing success, stunned the theatre world with the utterance of the word “bloody” on stage.

At first the idea of turning “Pygmalian” into a musical did not meet with approval, Alan J. Lerner and Frederick Loewe were advised to leave it alone.

In 1952 Gabrial Pascal had the option for making “Pygmalian” into a musical and approached some of the leading song writers of the day – Rodgers & Hammerstein, Noel Coward and Cole Porter; all declined. Lerner and Loewe tried, and wrote seven songs for the show before abandoning the project because of Pascals eccentricities and legal difficulties. Then, in 1954 Pascal died, Lerner and Loewe managed to surmount the problems and completed their show.

“My Fair Lady” with Rex Harrison & Julie Andrews opened in 1956, a thundering – resounding success. Warner Brothers bought the Film rights for Five Million Dollars, and work began in 1963.

“My Fair Lady” with the biting wit of George Bernard Shaw, and the magical music and lyrics by Alan Jay Lerner and Frederick Loewe is perhaps one of the most well known and best loved shows of stage and screen, and one where every song became a hit!

PAT SNOXELL
DIRECTOR
Those patrons who have followed the progress of the Hastings Operatic Society over recent years with the shows, “Oliver!” “Fiddler on the Roof” and the “The Merry Widow” will recognise Pat’s guiding hand. He is one of the most versatile and hard working directors in amateur theatre, with wide ranging experience in operatic shows, revues, comedies and pantomimes. Pat’s expertise has been recognised and he is much in demand, producing shows for amateur societies in Hawke’s Bay, Wairarapa and Wellington Provinces. In 1976 Pat directed “My Fair Lady’ for the Dannervirke [Dannevirke] Operatic Society and later this year will direct it again for the Palmerston North Society.

NANETTE ROBERTS
VOCAL DIRECTOR
Franz Lehar’s Chorus music in the Merry Widow requires a high standard of training and meticulous attention to detail. Nanette achieves this to her usual high degree. She has been chorus mistress for the Hastings Operatic Society many times, for two “Sounds of Music” “Oliver!” “Fiddler on the Roof”, Viva Mexico, “Merry Widow” and produced the Vienna cameos and Roman Serenade. Nanette has been conductor of Flaxmere’s massed school choirs for some years and guest conductor for Napier Intermediate school choirs. She has private piano pupils, conducts Mayfair Townswomen’s Guild choir, and is choir mistress and organist for St Peter’s Church.

KATHLEEN BARRY
MUSICAL DIRECTOR
Kath trained for secondary school teaching in England, specialising in music at the Trinity College of Music London, taught in secondary schools and played in amateur orchestras there, before coming to New Zealand to teach music at Iona College. She studied violin as a second instrument; has taught piano and singing in Hastings. Kath was a foundation member of Napier’s Concord Strings; has conducted the Sacred Heart choir since 1971; she established the Hastings Sinfonietta orchestra in 1978; and the Hastings Choral Society in 1985, and was musical Director for “The Merry Widow”.

JANINE McCUTCHEON
CHOREOGRAPHER
As a young dancer taking classes in Hastings and Napier, Janine was granted a Queen Elizabeth Arts Council Scholarship to train full-time at N.Z. School of Dance, Wellington, for two years. Upon returning to Hastings, she started a small group of dancers in Havelock North, seven years later the group has increased to a full-time dance studio of approx 250 students training in Ballet and Jazz examinations, and stage work for annual end of year production. Janine studied in depth, Anatomy and Dance, History of Dance and passed her Teachers Diploma, examined by the Royal Academy of Dancing Executive London. Janine has travelled extensively and taught on three occasions in Vancouver – Canada for various dance studios. My Fair Lady is her first choreography for a large operatic show.

THE GENIUS OF L & L …

The stunning collaboration of Alan Jay Lerner and Frederick Loewe for “My Fair Lady” elevated these highly gifted men to a place where they were acclaimed the best writer composer team in the American musical theatre.

High acclaim, indeed. Yet aside from the immediate popular acceptance of the “Fair Lady” music, the high quality of their work, the durability of the songs and their international appeal have shown conclusively that Lerner and Loewe brought something to the musical theatre that may never be matched.

Who else but Alan turner could have written: “A pensive man am I/Of philosophic joys/Who likes to Meditate/Contemplate/Free from humanity’s mad, inhuman noise… ?”

And who else but Frederick Loewe could have set to enchanting music the petulant indignation of a phonetics professor trying to justify his eccentricities by proclaiming that he’s just an ordinary man?

In their collaborative work, Lerner came up with the song title and usually the first line (avoiding, incidentally, “s” sounds), after which Loewe took over and started putting the music together. Lerner’s lyrics have been described as being like expertly cut glass, while Loewe thinks of music in terms of colour.

The Lerner-Loewe union began many years ago with a show called “The Life of the Party,” which they wrote in 12 days and which ran for nine weeks in Detroit. Their first Broadway production was “What’s Up?” presented in 1943, followed two years later by “The Day Before Spring,” which ran for five months. “Brigadoon” appeared in 1947 and “Paint Your Wagon” in 1951. The tremendous success of “My Fair Lady” in 1956 was followed by another great success in “Camelot”.

Lerner wrote the screenplay of “An American in Paris,” for which he won an Academy Award, and Lerner and Loewe joined talents for the motion picture, “Gigi,” for which they won three Oscars between them.

Their twinship ends with the melding of their words and music – for, as men, they represent, as do all men, distinct personalities. Reared in a Park Avenue apartment (his father founded the chain of apparel stores that bears the family name), Lerner is self-contained, mannered and fastidious. He is witty, elusive and social. His Manhattan office is, or was, embellished with a Ben Shahn painting of a bird, and a handsome Chinese horse.

Loewe was born to the musical theatre in Vienna. His father, Edmond, a tailor, was the first Prince Danilo in “The Merry Widow” and the first Chocolate Soldier in Berlin . His mother, Rose, was an actress. Loewe is given to emotion and flamboyance. He is, he says, too old to be modest; therefore, he is willing to acknowledge his genius.

Presently, he lives in sand-duned splendour in Palm Springs, the sequined resort whose charities the Loewe purse has greatly enriched.
