Pygmalion

Definitely not your grandma’s version. Edwardian elitists are replaced by Hollywood A-listers with iPhones, and Eliza Doolittle is a struggling street musician who seeks the help of image consultant Henry Higgins to become a musical diva. References to Octomom and swine flu are witty; yet some of George Bernard Shaw’s subtleties about relationships and humanity are lost in the adaptation. F, Sa 8pm; Su 2:30pm. Through 12/5. $12-$15.
