MY FAIR LADY First Night CAST CD83
The cast recording of Trevor Nunn's 2001 Royal National Theatre revival of My Fair Lady begins with some atmospheric London-at-night arrangements which make you fear you've wandered into the opening credits of "Mary Poppins." One minute in, though, you hear those eight clarion quarter notes that signify the beginning of My Fair Lady as we know it. From then on, you're in good hands.
