Interior on newsprint stock, now uniformly toned, with scattered foxing. Complete. Souvenir program for the Brazilian production of My Fair Lady, staged here at the Teatro Leopoldina in Porto Alegre. Minha Querida Lady was the landmark first Brazilian staging of the Lerner and Loewe musical (after Shaw's Pygmalion), produced by Oscar Ornstein and Victor Berbara, translated by Henrique Pongetti (text) and Victor Berbara (lyrics), and mounted with the original Broadway and London creative designs (direction Moss Hart, choreography Hanya Holm, scenery Oliver Smith, costumes Cecil Beaton), restaged in Brazil by Harry Woolever. It opened in 1962 with Bibi Ferreira as Eliza Doolittle, Paulo Autran as Henry Higgins and Jayme Costa as Alfred Doolittle, ran some two and a half years, and stands as one of the great box-office successes of 1960s Brazilian theater. A central leaf reproduces the cast's printed facsimile signatures, as issued in all copies. WorldCat (OCLC 821219724) locates only the Rio de Janeiro issue of this program (36 pages); this is the Porto Alegre, Teatro Leopoldina issue.
