Direct from London, My Fair Lady is this season's perfect holiday gift for all who have loved the sheer beauty and glorious score of Lerner and Loewe's glittering classic. Acclaimed British theater actors Christopher Cazenove and Lisa O'Hare earned rave reviews for their dynamic performances as Professor Henry Higgins and Eliza Doolittle in this 50th anniversary production based on the Cameron Mackintosh/National Theatre of Great Britain's award-winning London sensation. My Fair Lady features one of Broadway's most beloved scores, including "The Rain in Spain," "I Could Have Danced All Night" and "Get Me to the Church on Time" and brings together the original U.K. artistic team with direction by four-time Tony® winner Trevor Nunn (Les Misèrables), choreography and musical staging by two-time Tony® winner Matthew Bourne (Mary Poppins).

The Manhattan Transfer Christmas Concert – December 20
Fabled vocal quartet The Manhattan Transfer, with musical accompaniment by Florida Classical Orchestra, transform the Knight Concert Hall into a cheerful and swinging holiday resort with their warm and witty Christmas show featuring beloved songs of the season. Seasonal spirits rise at a The Manhattan Transfer Christmas show, with classics such as "White Christmas" and "I'll Be Home for Christmas," complemented by the naughty but nice "Santa Baby," the witty "Merry Christmas Baby," the smooth "Sleigh Ride," and the wishful-thinking "Let It Snow, Let It Snow." Celebrating their 35th anniversary, The Manhattan Transfer's upbeat melodies and vocal prowess in jazz, pop, doo-wop, R&B, soul and standards have made them an American institution; one that continues to entertain audiences around the globe. With dozens of albums, ten Grammy Awards and one of the greatest bodies of work in American popular music, The Manhattan Transfer remains an "extremely polished, versatile vocal-harmony machine" (New York Times) that "still can sound dangerous!" (Philadelphia Inquirer)
