A charming world premiere puts a musical spin on ‘Pygmalion' — again
George Bernard Washington III, the Julliard-bound prodigy at the center of Olney Theatre Center's 'Senior Class,' is a student of stratospheric standards. Tasked with one-upping 'My Fair Lady' and penning his own adaptation of 'Pygmalion' for his high school's spring musical, G.B. repeatedly emphasizes that 'pretty good' is the enemy of greatness. If his show isn't a triumph, it's a train wreck.
