PRESENTED BY Hawaii LGBT Legacy Foundation & Hawaii Theatre Center
Step into a world of elegance, wit, and unforgettable music when the classic film My Fair Lady (1964) comes to the historic Hawaii Theatre Center on Tuesday, June 14. Starring Audrey Hepburn and Rex Harrison, this beloved Academy Award-winning musical dazzles with iconic songs, lavish costumes, and timeless charm.
Based on the legendary Lerner & Loewe Broadway musical — itself adapted from George Bernard Shaw's celebrated play Pygmalion — the film follows Eliza Doolittle, a sharp-tongued Cockney flower girl taken under the wing of the insufferably charming Professor Henry Higgins, who wagers he can pass her off as a duchess. Sweeping costumes by Cecil Beaton, iconic songs like "I Could Have Danced All Night" and "Get Me to the Church on Time," and eight Academy Awards — including Best Picture and Best Director — make this one of Hollywood's most triumphant golden-age achievements.
And why simply watch the fashion when you can wear it? Come dressed in your most stunning fascinator headpiece for a chance to win! Our best-dressed contest will take place right before the movie starts and we’ll be awarding prizes to the patron who brings the most flair, elegance, or whimsy to their headwear. Channel your inner Eliza Doolittle — and may the best fascinator win!
Please note that there will be a short intermission about halfway through the film.
