... I have two friends in the cast, who could find you a comp on 10th/11th April.  It's on at the Theatre Centre de Massy,  which is in the south of the city on the RER, 5 mins walk from the station.   Production on loan from Strasbourg, allegedly very spectacular and with enormous staircases in it.  You may need to cut the cast some slack, because they get only ONE rehearsal on the set, on the morning of the 10th Sad  They are rehearsing in a basement, where the director is saying "there is a huge staircase here".

PM me if you are interested (max 2 comps per eve available).

Oh, and if anyone will be in Novy Sad (Serbia) and wants to see MY FAIR LADY in May, you can PM me about that too Wink

Shucks, am going to Paris as it happens but the dates don't work. (Am going to see Wozzeck though, hurray.)

Sounds as if it could be worth seeing, especially if they have to scurry around to find/avoid the staircases  Cheesy

Why can't the Serbo-Croats teach their children how to speak?

Tha's actually how we've done it - it's only funny if she can't speak proper at the star', so she's learning English, in't she? Smiley 

The Eliza actually speaks it very well, she had to "unlearn" it to manage

 Cheesy

Luckily she's back for the revival - I've grown accustomed to her face - but the Henry Higgins is new to it, and we only have a week on-stage...  should be possible, though. There's a very good dialogue coach working with him, so hopefullly we'll turn him into a plummy toff by the opening Smiley   You haven't lived until you've heard "I have often walked down this street before" in Serbian Smiley

Sorry your dates don't match-up, Harpy!   Let me know if anything changes?   The Dress Rehearsal is going to be "closed", given the strained circs surrounding it!   They'll be fit to drop by the evening,  far less sing a performance Sad
