Riverside Theatre in Vero Beach is on its way to a spectacular
season and will set your heart singing with the romantic,
much-loved classic My Fair Lady. “My Fair Lady is the lavish
Broadway show and includes a lush score by Broadway
legends Alan -ay Lerner and )redericN Loewe,µ says theater
spoNesman 2scar Sales. ´7here·s great ecitement for My Fair
Lady and Evita.”
Evita is the story of Eva Peron, who rose from penniless obscurity
to the charismatic first lady of Argentina, later dying
at the age of 27.
“Evita feels more modern because of its rocN and roll vibe
from Andrew Lloyd :ebber and 7im 5ice,µ Sales says. ´Both
of these (Evita and My Fair Lady) are the highest-selling shows
so far this season. :hat·s also eciting is to have two Broadway
veterans directing these shows with -ames Brennen
directing My Fair Lady and Marcia Milgrom Dodge directing
Evita.”
