The Grange

Since it stormed Broadway in 1956, Lerner and Loewe’s irresistible musical version of George Bernard Shaw’s social satire Pygmalion has become a monument of musical theatre. For the Festival in 2020, we present it as a staged concert, with the action of the characters sharing the stage with the Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra and The Grange Festival Chorus.

Alfonso Casado Trigo, who led our Candide so winningly in 2018, conducts. Expect a cast to die for and an evening to savour deep in our hearts and long in our memories.
