“My Fair Lady”
Sir,—From a comparatively good gallery seat I found audibility poor at ‘‘My Fair Lady.” and the show mediocre and dull. Why should blowing his nose on his scarf and scratching under the armpits be supposed to be funny on-stage while disgusting elsewhere? A colossal amount of ballyhoo has been written about a very ordinary play which bears I little resemblance to the original.—Yours, etc., PHYLLIS NEWALL. | February 15, 1962. Sir, —I am not a Cockney : but I certainly had no diffiiculty in hearing the whole iof this wonderful show; nor I did the party of which I I was a member. It was only I on the insistence of a numi ber of satisfied friends that I I joined this other party. Our ! finances did not make it ; possible to be other than i well back in the theatre. I Congratulations to the cast |of “My Fair Lady.”—Yours, etc.
KIWI. February 15, 1962. [This correspondence may now cease.—Ed., “The Press.’’]
