Past production

My Fair Lady

Tuesday 26th–Saturday 30th September 2017

Bristol Hippodrome

Henry Higgins, an opinionated phonetics professor and confirmed bachelor, bets that in six months he can pass off a Covent Garden flower seller as a duchess. He wins the bet — and entirely fails to reckon with the effect Eliza Doolittle has on his life.

Lerner and Loewe’s score includes Wouldn’t It Be Loverly?, I Could Have Danced All Night and Get Me to the Church on Time.

How do I join?

Everyone who performs with BLOC has auditioned for their place. We look for strong singers, confident movers and actors who can hold a stage.

Auditions are held each spring for that year’s show. Tell us you are interested and you will be the first to hear when the details are announced.

There is as much to do off the stage as on it. Backstage crew, wardrobe, props and the production team behind a show of this scale are all volunteer roles, and we are looking for people all year round.
