Curve’s Chief Executive Chris Stafford and Nikolai Foster said in a joint statement: “Molly Lynch and David Seadon-Young created pure theatrical magic when they breathed new life into My Fair Lady at Curve last year. These were virtuosic performances, filled with beauty, courage and originality, that none of us who had the privilege of seeing, will ever forget. It’s an honour to see these magnificent, once in a generation talents returning to Leicester, where they promise to give everything to these magnificent characters and this important landmark of musical theatre.”
