Review/Comment
Award-winning Foothill Music Theatre presents Lerner and Loewe's Musical Masterwork in a sensational new production! Celebrating a new era in Foothill Theatre as we inaugurate the intimate, state-of-the-art, Lohman Theatre!
FMT's award-winning director Jay Manley helms this brilliant battle of the sexes about a linguistics professor who, on a wager, takes in a cockney flower girl from the streets of London, vowing to transform her into a refined lady. Featuring choreography by Tyler Risk and musical direction by Mark Hanson, My Fair Lady boasts some of Lerner and Loewe's most memorable songs, including The Rain in Spain, Wouldn't It Be Loverly and I Could Have Danced All Night.
Music by Frederick Loewe. Book and Lyrics by Alan Jay Lerner. Based on the play, “Pygmalion,” by George Bernard Shaw. Directed by Jay Manley.

"Funny!"
Review posted by: Aqua from San Jose, Aug 06, 2008
It was a fun show with great songs. The sets were beautiful. I was little disappointed that there were very few dancing in big numbers. But, You will be leaving the theatre with smile.

From the first time I saw this show I was enchanted. The principles are dynamite, the ensemble is lively and engaging. Scene changes are flawless. The show moves along very quickly. It's colorful, upbeat and the tunes will stay in your head long after you have gone home. Especially noteworthy are the voices of David Sattler (Sid) and Sarah Aili (Babe). Their solos and duets are wonderful. Collapse

I loved the show. The sets, lighting, and costumes were a perfect fit and complemented each other well, and the cast was tight knit and energetic. The ensemble, in particular, was a joy to watch. The dances were good old fashioned fun, and you could tell everyone was enjoying themselves onstage. The only negative thing to mention was the lack of seats being filled. Come to the show and bring a friend- this production deserves much more of an audience! Collapse

Perfect fare for summer, this production lived up to the excellent set by Joe Ragey: darling buttons ringing the proscenium, and a wonderful use of levels that was 'industrial'---and perfect for Mr.Time-Study (Doug Baird) to throw his comic relief from! Excellent and well-trained voices, lots of color and expressiveness---this is WHY I love live theater. Go see it. It will be good for your soul. Collapse

This revival-version of Pajama Game is a pleasant summer romp--though, take your No-Doz, it's a typical 1950's LONG book show. Leads David Sattler and Sarah Aili have silky voices and slinky chemistry; however, it is supporting players Doug Baird and Linda Piccone that are truly memorable. Their soft-shoe version of "I'll Never Be Jealous Again" is priceless. Character actress Kateri McRae as Mae is an absolute gem. Her blossoming relationship with Michael Rhone as Prez is endearing. Unfortunately, purists will miss the original choreography in "Steam Heat." Somewhere, Fosse is rolling in his grave, clad in flammable pajamas... Collapse

I loved everything about this show. Performances were flawless. Sets, costumes and lights were very pleasant - neither overwhelming or understated. Steam Heat was ... ooo-la-la! Funny parts were side-splitting, and I even let escape a very loud awwwww at a particularly poignant moment. Well worth the price of admission, and I will be seeing it again!! Collapse

I found The Pajama Game to be thoroughly entertaining. I've never seen it before and was pleased to have the experience I had with this production. The cast was very well rounded and the actors who played the main parts were perfect for their roles and quite endearing. Kudos go to Sarah Aili (Babe), David Sattler (Sid Sorokin), Doug Baird (Hines), and Karen DeHart (Gladys) for having strong chemistry with each other and having fun at the same time. The dance numbers were well done but could have used just a little more punch and pizazz. The orchestral accompaniment, lighting, set design and changes were very effective! There were some problems with the mics going off an on during the performances. But they were relatively minor. Since it was the opening night, I'm sure they'll iron out these kinks in their next round of performances. I also thought it was funny for Babe (Sarah) to pick up the phone before it even rang - quite forgivable. :) I would highly recommend it to anyone who loves musicals! Collapse
