Information/Write-up

​Elisabeth Heseltine was a member of the original cast of the 1957 satirical musical My Fur Lady, a production created and performed by McGill University students. In the musical, she portrayed a member of the Culturality Squad, alongside David Langstroth and Donald Harvie. The Culturality Squad was tasked with guiding Princess Aurora Borealis, the protagonist, in understanding Canadian culture. ​

My Fur Lady was notable for its unique blend of jazz, 1950s rock and roll, and political satire, telling the story of a northern princess seeking a husband to maintain her nation’s independence from Canada. The production was a significant success, touring across Canada with over 400 performances and leading to an original cast recording.​

Beyond her involvement in My Fur Lady, specific details about Elisabeth Heseltine's career and contributions to Canadian musical theatre are limited based on the available information.
