My Fair Lady description

My Fair Lady - The first major revival for 21 years

This is the critically acclaimed Lincoln Center Theatre version of My Fair Lady directed by Bartlett Sher, a 'sublime' production featuring the English National Opera orchestra playing Frederick Loewe's beautiful score. The original book and lyrics are by Alan Jay Lerner, including well-loved tunes like I Could Have Danced All Night, Get Me to the Church on Time, and On the Street Where You Live. This is the first major West End revival of the show for 21 years and it's playing at the London Coliseum in summer 2022 for a 16 week run.

About My Fair Lady

Henry Higgins is a snobbish professor of linguistics who accepts a bet from a friend. He is tasked with transforming the Cockney flower girl Eliza Doolittle into a 'proper lady'. It turns out Eliza is more than a match for Henry, who ends up being transformed himself.

This musical also happens to be very funny. 'Draggle-tailed guttersnipe, 'squashed cabbage leaf' and 'Bilious pigeon' are just some of the insults hurled at Eliza by Henry in the well-loved movie, and this lovely level of irreverence is carried through into Sher's contemporary production.

Bartlett Sher is one of the most respected directors in modern theatre, and this is his very special vision. It attracted glowing reviews and critical accolades from the start when it took to the stage in 2018, was performed more than 500 times, then went on tour. When covid hit, the tour stopped. Now it's coming back.
