My Fair Lady tops in entertainment
1 Nov 10
Three Valley residents featured in the Albatross Musical Society’s production of My Fair Lady last month and all distinguished themselves in significant contributions to the success.
Pat Powell played the part of Professor Higgins,Jacinta Perry-Powell was stage manager and Ron Burcher was on Bass Guitar.
The show attracted record numbers to the Shoalhaven Entertainment Centre and a there was a large contribution to that achievement by a number of Valley theatregoers who were unanimous if their praise of the evening’s entertainment.
The management of so many scenery and costume changes must have been a real challenge and it all went like clockwork. Well done Jacinta and your team.
A fine “backstage” and “on stage” effort.
Pat Powell’s performance in the role of the Professor was the best we have seen from him during the past 15 years. Pat really nailed it.
The attitude, the voice control and the singing were a real delight. He displayed assurance even with arrogance when required, yet the soft side of the character peeped through on occasion so he delivered a believable and warm though opinionated and difficult man, just waiting for the right woman.
The part of Eliza Doolittle was played with assurance and poise in an admirable performance by Laura Oliver-Graham.
